Country Boy,
I would recommend a pass unless you want it as a collectible. I owned one that was inaccurate, a true 4 MOA rifle, and mechanically unsound. It had a braze or weld fail in the action, can't remember exactly what it was and where after the 30+ years, but my memory says the action bar to piston maybe. This rendered the rifle useless, it was a major failure. I contacted Winchester and Winchester did repair it for free. However, there were other problems with the design and they issued an advisory or such, as they made me aware they had corrected that problem in the return letter from my original problem repair. I know several people who have been disappointed in them as shooters and have retained the rifle in memory only. Remember this, the Remington 742 won the competition between the two. Now, the bright side of all this. One person I know has retained his all these years. He shoots a box of ammo before every hunting season.
