In my opinion, the model 61 was the finest pump 22 Winchester made. Even better than the model 90s that I also love. I have 3. The neatest is a pre war in 22 shot. Looks just like a mini model 12. Great guns.

I really like my little Model 90 in .22 WRF. It must have been ordered for a youngster or a small lady with a very short LOP and a 16" hex barrel. A great little rifle to tend a trap line with.

I've owned a few Model 61's and like them, but have long remembered watching the gunsmith at the Argonaut Gun Shop in Modesto CA while he was setting back a 61 barrel. He told me that the angled section of the breech where the extractor rests when bolt is in battery, will deform into the chamber over VERY LONG use. Just passing along a vignette from when my bride and I were transferred to CA; that was well before modern microtig welding was developed.

A .32-20 mod 92 well used and Big an 1895 in .405 made in 1904 the first year of .405 production.This rifle was purchased by a member of the Reese family in Idaho then passed down through four generations until the string ran out.

Big Shot, and Little Shot
This is one of three of my '61s, and a factory smooth bore at that. Great for keep ing the English Sparrows, constantly nesting in the ivy on the side off my house, under control.
