Winchester Model 61 .22 caliber Pump Action
Rifles
The Winchester Model 61 was in essence the
fourth version of a line of pump
action rifles
that Winchester produced in the rimfire .22 caliber, beginning with the
1890,
1906,
which was discontinued in 1932. Following those slide actions, came
the Model
62, which was discontinued in 1958. All these predecessor
Winchester slide actions had exposed hammers where the new, Winchester
Model 61 had an internal hammer.
The Winchester Model 61 only came in a take-down version had a 24 inch
round barrel, and a straight type, maple stock that also followed the
design of previous models. With that being said, there were also were
several special order features available from the factory, like sights for
example. The fore
end, or slide handle is grooved, like the Winchester
Model 12 shotgun,
and for this reason collectors often pair the two.
