Does anyone have any experience with the recent Winchester Special Edition High Walls?  I know they are Japanese, and that they resemble the Browning Traditional Hunter model of several years ago, but that is all I know.  

1878,

If you are referring to the recent Winchester Limited Edition 34" barrel Creedmoor rifles in caliber .45-90 Win. than they are identical to the Browning BPCR Creedmoor rifles and have 1/2 octagon 1/2 round Badger barrels, as did the Browning's.  I've sold several and can attest to the high-quality contruction.  Several fellows I've sold rifles to can attest to the excellent accruacy.  Winchester (Miroku) made 251 of these.  They came with windage adjustable front sights and soule rear tang sights made by AMT (same as the Browning's)

Winchester also had Miroku make 126 of the limited edition Creedmoor's in caliber .45-90 Win. but with 30" Badger barrels and no sights (but these were set up with a dovetail for front sights and drilled and tapped for a rear tang soule sight)

Winchester also had Miroku make 126 of the limited edition Creedmoor's in caliber .50-90 Sharps, but with 30" Badger barrels and no sights (but these were set up with a dovetail for front sights and drilled and tapped for a rear tang soule sight)

All of the above rifles have 1/2 octagon 1/2 round heavy Badger barrels, shotgun buttplates and pistol grip stocks.  The quality of the Badger barrels speak for themselves.  The chambering was done by Miroku and is the same quality as the original Browning BPCRs and BPCR Creedmoor rifles.  Their reputation for accuracy (given the right loads) is well established, but having made chamber casts and taken carefull measurements of many of the Browning BPCRs, I can attest there are some variations, which are typical of "production rifles".
==============

If your are referring to the Winchester limited edition rifles with straight tapered octagon barrels and concave buttplates, than the barrel on these rifles were mfg. by Miroku, as was the rest of the rifle components.

Those that resemble the Browning Traditional Hunters are in fact identical to the Browning Traditional Hunters, with one exception, Winchester markings on the barrels.  I don't have any direct experence with these rifles so cannot comment on accuracy, chambering quality, etc.

I have been shooting one these in the 405 WCF for a couple of years now. Outfitted with the Browning soule rear and spirit level front. Great shooter! Barrel cleans up with just a few patches, no leading, chamber fits the Hornaday brass perfectly. 

You have reminded me to check the twist on it. I don't have any trouble with the twist,  even with a 400 grain bullet, just wondering now.

The 32-40 should be a good shooter as well and will have a rear tang and dovetail cut in the front. Some don't and are strictly a scope type affair for sights. I had one in 45/70 without the tang and sold it to get the 405.

I would reccomend these rifles. They are not exact copies of the orignals but are a good rifle and the price is attractive.
