Winchester Model 63

I always thought those 63's were neat looking rifles and I would not mind having one but as all old WInchesters go now quite pricey. But not as high I suppose if you looked around. All in all a neat rifle. Jim
Said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it.

I have a WInchester 63 I bought a couple of years ago.  I paid $350 for it, I think.  It doesn't have much collector value because the previous owner had it drilled and tapped for a scope.  But, it is pure death on gophers and ground squirrels, which is why I bought it.  It also holds something like 17 rounds, which is more the federally mandated 10 round clips on my 10/22.  It's also built with what I call nice Winchester quality, in other words, real wood and nice machining.

I see taurus is planning a reproduction, which might be a good way to go for a shooter.
