For best results, get an original. And there was only one size
magazine made by Winchester. Fortunately, the one you need is for the
caliber they made the most of. As far as WHERE, Numrich/Gun Parts may
have some, I picked mine up at gun shows. There are usually some
vendors that specialize in magazines, at least around here. You may
encounter an 8-shot made by Colyer, I got a couple of those really
cheap once($2), they didn't function. These days, I've seen some
pretty fancy prices on those, priced higher than an original factory
magazine. Current price for a factory .308 is $50-$80 when you can
find them. There are also model 88 magazines that look similar. One
can be interchanged with the other, but not the reverse and I don't
remember which way it is.
