I received my copy in Friday’s mail, but my schedule didn’t allow me to view the current issue the way I enjoy it, in the evening, unwinding and relaxing as the articles always give me a thrill!

My compliments to Brad and the others for another fine edition.

Bert, I am especially enjoying you’re updated survey on the model 90 and 06!

As an extra Highlight the article by member Steve Cambria, on the model 73, “Mr Douty’s Winchester, is enjoyable in itself, to name a few.

Among the rest of the articles.

Hopefully it generates enough interest to get a few hundred more serial numbers for the survey.  Currently, I have 1,348 documented in the survey.

The Winter 2025 really has been a interesting edition to me. Especially loved the article by Chris Hartman, the young lady taking a fine deer with a Mod 70, and his best load in it, very similar to my own 30-06 with the 165gr Speer. Loved the Marked 94 article, in fact most any about my favorites, Mod 94 but especially Mod 64.  The detailed story of the Mod 1885 & 32-40 was really good, I’ve got Ned Robert’s book, and remember him talking of Harry Pope & 32-40 being a favorite, but Ned Robert’s writings I consider as Gospel!

One thing Bert I’d like to know? My Mod 94 NRA Centennial 30-30, the serial number is NRA37,709.  I assume all where made in 1971, but the same rifles in 72&73 where Mod 64a, and the 71 Centennial’s only, had Chromed receivers. Any idea how many where made, and for sure made only in 71??

All of NRA Centennials were manufactured in 1971 (marketed through 1972), with a total production of 47,380. Yes, the Model 64A is essentially a “plain jane” variant of the NRA Centennial.

I got my first The Winchester Magazine which is the winter 2025 issue.

It is awesome with good graphics and great editing. I have read back on the internet to many older issues (for 25+ years?).

I want the paper issue which has the real reason why we Winchester guys love the brand. It is just better for many reasons.

God Bless you guys for continuing the Obsession of the Winchester rifle.

Am I the only one that spent half a day looking for the Winter 2026 issue in their book case?

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately, there was a typo on the magazine cover.  As you astutely discovered, it might be marked Winter 2025 instead…….The 2026 issues marked “2025” will likely be rare collectibles in the future – congrats!

Thanks! I was having trouble putting them in order, now I know why!
