ICON BITES THE DUST

Another American Icon Bites the Dust.

Another old west icon is coming to an end.
The traditional Winchester rifles carried by pioneers, movie stars, Wild West Lawmen, and outlaws will come to an end in March of 2006. They will no longer be in production it was announced today.
“The Gun That Won the West” will be replaced by only modern, high end models.
The name Winchester will be the only thing left of the traditional rifle, 140 years of manufacturing.
The Winchester model 1873 lever action rife was popular for its reliability.
My family is great deer and elk hunters. They refer to their Winchesters as “old meat in the pot.”
They were used in the movies by James Stewart, John Wayne, and Chuck Connors.
Winchester is an American legend whether you are a gun owner or not.
It is sad to see all of old, rustic allure’s, coming to an end.
