[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1736065, member: 103303"] Early 2000's is going back a ways. Lots of changes at Winchester that decade. By your description, I'm guessing it's the barrel is stamped New Haven, CT (they were until 2006). Production then moved to South Connecticut (barrel stamp: Morgan, Utah). I think the MOA trigger was introduced 2008, and then production moved to Portugal in 2013. I do remember some of the early WSMs having feeding issues. On the up-side, it's pretty easy to modify the magazine to 3.1" OACL My first choice is Morgan, Utah barrel stamp with MOA trigger, Second choice, Portugal Extreme Weather (current production) New Haven, CT - would have to be a really sweet deal for me to roll the dice, sight unseen. Lots more availability of 300wsm factory ammo, if that matters. [/QUOTE]
