As I understand, this is the old Winchester factory and employees under a new company, now "new" is about 20 years ago. I bought a mod. 70, .257 Roberts about the the time the changer over took place, box had a "U.S. Repeating Arms" lable ove the old Winchester label and the recoil pad was an old Winchester one, not the newer "U.S.Repeating Arms" logo pad. Got it for my son who was about 5 at the time and now just turned 25, so it was that long ago as I best I guess it too be. Now When you call the place, as I do from time to time, they answer "winchester-browning" ???...about time they give 'ol John Browning his due.
