The Winchester Model 61 is a classic American rimfire rifle combining Winchester’s traditional slide-action operation with the streamlined, hammerless styling that distinguished the model from the company’s earlier pump-action .22 rifles. Introduced in 1932, the Model 61 became known for its smooth action, clean receiver profile, and traditional Winchester construction.
This example is chambered in .22 LR and features a 24-inch single barrel with a traditional blued finish. The pump-action mechanism is paired with a single trigger, while the semi-pistol-grip stock provides the familiar profile associated with many original Model 61 rifles. Length of pull measures 13 1/4 inches, and the rifle weighs approximately 5.85 pounds, giving it the light, well-balanced proportions characteristic of a classic rimfire sporting rifle.
An especially noteworthy component of this example is its original box, adding an important piece of period-correct accompaniment to the rifle.
