The Model 61 was developed by Winchester in an attempt to keep pace with its competitors hammerless .22 rifles. Model 61s were produced from 1932 to 1963, this variation (Magnum) was only produced from 1960 to 1963. Manufactured in 1960. With a dovetail front sight, adjustable rear sight, the top of the receiver is grooved for scope mounting, tubular magazine, 17 groove flat bottom slide and pistol grip stock with a black plastic buttplate with "WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO" in a circle. The trigger guard assembly is not stamped with an "A".

Excellent overall with 99% bright original blue finish, overall scattered mild handling marks, with sharp markings. Mechanically excellent.
