Picked up this little gem for $115. Winchester Model 60 22s/l/lr single shot. Manufactured from 1930-34 with about 166k made. This is an early one dating to about 1930/31. After ‘31 they rolled out the 60a that had finger grooved fore end. They also made a 60a Target with a Lyman peep sight. Those are $$$.
The bore is exceptional. Mirror finish and strong rifling. I have high hopes for accuracy. The stock was lacquered or shellacked at some point. I plan on simply stripping it and refinishing with Tru-Oil.
The 60 set off the series of the 67/68 followed by the 69/69a. I have a representative of each, which is why i wanted this model.
I’ll update after the range session Sunday.
