I like older Winchesters especially .22's

Winchester Model 69a just as it came off the rack at Cabela's .





Some surface rust and dings and dents in the stock but the bore and chamber are nice, the trigger wasn't as bad as I was afraid it might be. I put 10 rounds through it just to hear it go bang and to the rifles credit it put all 10 into a 4 inch group at 25 yards which for me starting off cold offhand isn't half bad.
I'm in the process of doing a thorough cleaning. It's looking much better all ready. I don't think this poor thing has been cleaned in at least 10 years. Short of the cosmoline on my Enfields I have never seen so much congealed oil, hardened grease and powder residue. It's a wonder it would even fire.
I have a Redfield 75 receiver sight that I am going to put on it as soon as I find the mounting block that fits holes that are all ready drilled and taped in the action.

The model 72 is the tube feed version.

I love my model 75. It has been in the family for years. It is a 75T that had the barrel cut down to 16-1/4 inches. The forearm has been cut back to just a couple of inches shorter than the barrel. Not a great looker, but it is a great shooter.

I am looking for a 75 sporter.

Those old Winchesters are nice. I have a Model 63 Semi-Auto. It's very well built, old school wood and steel. It's a shooter grade since it has been drilled and tapped for a scope side mount. Other than that, it is in excelent condition. The former owner said he got it in Texas from an oil field owner. He sold it to me because his kids didn't want it!? Well, their loss.

Lock and Load!

Two 52's, a 75T, some 61's, a 62, and a 9422. I may have inherited a minor preference for older Winchester's from my Father. I just can't say enough good things about any of the Win rimfires I own. Not a poor shooter among the bunch!

I would love to get hold of a model 52 of just about any persuasion. A Model 75 would be nice too.
There was a Model 75 target on the rack next to this one. Half the condition but over twice the price. I went cheap this time.
I also have a Model 74 semi auto that belonged to my grandfather. It's in pretty rough shape but it shoots quite well as long as you feed it ammo it likes.

Thanks, you should see how it shoots! It wasn't that pretty when I got got it through an FFL friend whom does estate sales. I put a lot of work into refinishing the stock with pure Tung oil. I have my CMP 52D's stock to do as well along with the 75T I picked up at Xmas. I litterally stumbled into all 3 of those rifles in a span of less than 6 months. I just wish the Win 52 and 75 market wasn't such a collector driven market as it keeps the prices higher than normal for a non collector grade rifle. The 75T's have gone up dramatically in recent months! I wish everybody could own one of these rifles as they are pure joy to shoot.

Here are a couple of my Winchesters.
First is a WWII trainer Winchester model 75, Then my Winchester 52C and 52D US property trainers.
The model 75's were not marked: US property.

The first rifle I ever shot (at 4 years old) was an '06 Winchester pump. Love those little rifles!

Gotta love the ole Winchesters, I dusted mine off this morning as it was cool and no wind, near perfect shooting, practice for a 52 match at 50 and 100 , shot 100 with 3 ammos to tune myself up a bit.

very best
