I got a 1400 winchester in about 1975 and hunted with it for over 20yrs, Everything from doves, turkeys, ducks,geese and deer with only one small problem a piece of brass off of a shell got in the saftey blocking it. No big deal just a good cleaning. I gave it to a grandson several years ago and it is still going good. All said it has been a very god gun, now for the bad side as a gun trader I don't trade for them unless they are cheap as they don't move in this area very wellusually around $150 or less Rustyb
