For example, using the search terms WINCHESTER 1885 .30-06, and getting a manageable number to search? It seems to pick up every thread with the word Winchester in it, etc.

Ian-
I’ve found a carefully worded Google search generally brings me back to the forum. There are other search functions but I’d be the wrong person to advise on the relative merits.

I do a Google search with both the key words of what I’m looking for and Winchester Arms Collectors Assoc typed in the Search Bar. More often than not I’ll come up with exactly what I’m looking for and I can always add another key word or two and Search again if necessary. I try to be pretty specific with what I’m looking for

Ian,
Click the “Advanced Search” link directly below the Search box, and then change the default settings to a different option.

To search a specific domain on Google try this: “site:https://winchestercollector.org/forum/ winchester 1885 .30-06″ – That entire thing (minus the quotes) is what you’d type in the google search bar.

I tried that typing in Winchester 1885 and .30-06 and the results aren’t exactly narrowed down much.

You expected those key words to narrow down your search Ian?
That’s much TOO broad of a search, be very specific in what you’re looking for. I’ve found specific, years old WACA threads that I was looking for

I hate to ask again, but how many Winchester 1885s were manufactured in .30-06 and what’s the date or serial number of the earliest one?

Per my article in the Winter 2021 edition of the Collector magazine, there were (25) that letter, and all of them were the International Match Rifles (IMRs) manufactured for the 1913 Camp Perry match. All of the IMRs were received in the warehouse and shipped in August of 1913. The 30-06 Gov’t was never a standard cartridge in the Single Shot due to it being a rim less cartridge. The IMRs were essentially custom built specifically for the U.S. Army so they could compete in the Camp Perry. I highly recommend that you read the articles that Roger Adams wrote and were published in the WACA Collector magazine.

I thank you immensely! What dates should I search for in previous issues for the Roger Adams articles?
