I like the positive feed of your Winchester too, so long as it is the Mauser type action and not the push action (like my Remington) that Winchester adopted for a while.

No plans to take it off.
I have a nice receiver sight for it, but the scope has been pretty solid since I mounted it. The Winchester is a Custom Shop job, and it is the controlled feed version.
Looking at the Leupold 1-6x Mark 6 for another application. A bit spendy, but it looks like it is very well-designed and made. If I was limited to a single rifle and I thought I might be in dangerous game with it, or on a once in a lifetime safari, that would be a great optic for it.
