WINCHESTER MODEL 75 TARGET RIFLE, 22 L.R. MADE in 1942
Description:
A Very Nice Winchester Model 75 Target Rifle, 22 Long Rifle, Made in 1942. I purchased this one in a local sporting goods store several years ago. The previous owner had a Lyman Target Spot scope on it, and when he traded in the model 75, he removed the scope to use it on a different rifle. Sadly, he had misplaced the original receiver sight. When I took it to the range, I installed a 10X Unertl to check the accuracy. I had no trouble shooting 1/2" 5 shot groups at 50 yards using Winchester Standard Velocity ammunition. The bore is bright with sharp riflings. The metal is the soft blue that Winchester applied to their pre-war rifles. There are a few scuffs in the bluing on the barrel, but they are minor. The Walnut stock shows some nice figure, with nice dark and light streaking throughout. Judging from its condition, I would guess that the stock has been lightly sanded with a very nice hand rubbed oil finish applied. Since this rifle is not in "MINT" condition, I think that the minor stock refinish actually enhances the look, and therefore the value, of this nice rifle. The rifle comes with one 10 round Original Winchester Magazine. It has a nice leather sling that appears to have been there since forever.
This is a nice Target 22, showing an attention to detail that is lacking in todays modern firearms. This would be a great tool in teaching Teenagers how to shoot accurately, and in fact, many of these were used for that purpose in the 1950s ans 60s. I, myself, took a six week course in target shooting as a part of gym class in Junior High School.
Please go over the photos carefully and contact me with questions.
Thanks for looking!
