Saw one at my local shop with peep sights and an old leather sling. I think it said made in 1952. It was a little worn from use and had a nice trigger. What can you guys tell me about this rifle?

Re: School me on Winchester 75 Target .22's
It was the "second best" WRA target rifle behind the Model 52. Very popular in school, 4H etc training shooting. A fine shooter and excellent rifle. I would demand a test firing as most 22 RFs with problems are man made from over done cleaning. Also made in a very nice sporting rifle version.
Here's a typical nice one, (target) to look at. Probably would sell for $500 or so.

Re: School me on Winchester 75 Target .22's
There is something (a bit vague) about links to competing sites. Since we have a for sale section on SH, I suppose GB is competition in some folks eyes.

Thank you gentlemen. The one I saw looked at felt great - trying to figure out if I need to add a second .22 this month.

Re: School me on Winchester 75 Target .22's
It looks almost identical to the GunB add. It has Redfield sights, and the same leather sling, with one magazine. It has some wear on it from use. They are asking $600, which after looking is a little high. It's probably on consignment, so i'll have to find out if that price is set.

The price of 75's had made BIG jumps in the last 3 years, If you are new to target shooting the 75 is a good place to start,If you only want to buy one gun that will meet all the .22lr target shooting for the rest of your days search around for a Mod 52C, I came back in the rimfire fold after 30+ years of centerfire and could not be happier with my 52C, I started with an old CMP beater that shot like a house afire and traded up to a real nice civilian 1956 mod 52C heavy barrel,I kept the like new redfield Olympic iron sights, bought a Ken Vaini mount for a modern scope so as not to drill and tap the receiver, my whole rig including irons,mount and fleabay 36X leupold ended up at 1200 tax tag and title, best $$ I ever put in a gun,at 100 yards you can see subsonic bullets fall out of the arc and punch the bullseye, mine loves Fed AM 22 bulk at about $15.00/ 325 rounds. The 52's hold there value well and Ive been offered many $$ more than invested

Re: School me on Winchester 75 Target .22's
I ended up selling my 75 target when I acquired my 52C and 52D from the CMP. BTW cattle buyer, the CMP US marked 52C's are a rare bird.
There were less than 200 available from the CMP. One of the more collectible 52's. I have three 52's now, the C&D and a PreA 4 digit serial number. The 75 went to a close friend that had wanted it since I bought it.
Back to superde, the sling, if Winchester marked, is rare to find on the 75. Most were lost or not bought when the rifle was bought. That would add to the price. If it is a miltary marked sling from WWI era, it would add another $150 or so dollars to the value.
