Winchester model 69 22 LR. 40s vintage, my father bought it when he was a kid. Very very accurate. 22 short to LR all feed great. It wasn't perfect when I got it from Dad, the bluing had vanished and the stock had been broke somehow by he and his brothers right through the pistol grip. They fixed it with some piano wire lookin' stuff and electrician's tape :lol:. I repaired and refinished the stock, the patina of the barrel and action I left in place.

I think we all probable learned to shoot a rifle with the 22 WRF. My greatest memories of learning to shoot was with a side by side 410.
My dad would take me to a remote village dump site and I would hide under a cardboard box for a while and bust out blasting at the crows. Probably illegal as hell but sure was fun for a 12 year old. THEN came the 06. Good memories. I remember pulling the trigger on that 721 like it was yesterday. The ground was covered in borate from a recent burn but the fauna was plush. Propped on a stump near a cliff shooting across the river into Glacier National Park. Ha. Started life as a rebel. :elmer::thumbsup:
