Had one of those, too, but
even though one of the best post-64 Winchesters made, it was still a post-64 frame of casting, of a very specific time frame, parts supply, used pins rather than screws, and etc etc.
If it had been made in an earlier time, it would still be here. BUT, not one I would load to the gills simply because it was no fun for me.
When loads get up there, THEN i will take the .45-70, which is pretty much what I had to do, and end up with a Guide Gun for the BP level stuff, and the #1 Whelen for higher power.
Twisted, but, still some logic, somewhere.
