Anyone in the market for a reproduction Winchester 97 may want to look at this. I ordered this one to "replace" my real circa 1913 genuine version primarily because it has a 30" barrel, but does shoot well. I could not bring myself to shorten the barrel.
I took ownership today and it though used, appears to be close to 100% condition. It has Norinco stamped on it, the only aesthetic I don't like is the very large lettering on one side denoting shell size and the importer. The walnut is what I would call almost blonde in hue.
Not sure if I can put auction links on here so do a search for "Norinco M97" on Gun Broker. They appear to have several. It was $300.00 plus around $30.00 shipping.
The reason I am posting this I had a tough time finding one, thought I may save anyone else some time.
I'll have with me at ORSA at the setup on Sunday and the shoots on Tuesday and Saturday. May even hit a target or two
