Winchester 47… another .22?

[mikep]

Newest addition to the growing herd of .22 rifles is a Winchester Model 47, circa 1952-54’ish. In decent shape and shoots real well. The target is a 5 round group at 25 yds off a bag.
The sling swivel comes off the barrel and is not original to the rifle. I sort of like it and think i’ll keep it in for now.
I’ve got another one coming in the near future. Stay tuned.

Good looking rifle and nice groups too, BUT, if'n you was aimin at that penny, you missed.

My first rifle was a 69A Winchester, bought it used in 63 for the princely sum of $20

Mine was a matchlock fresh off the assembly line.

And that was done without the aid of a tree.
