Here is old-school Winchester rimfire steel with the kind of field pedigree that never needed flash to earn respect. This Model 62A is a post-war 1951 takedown pump rifle chambered for .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle. It is built for small-game hunting, camp utility, farm duty, and clean backyard precision where legal. Light, quick, and slick through the hands, this is the kind of rifle that made generations of shooters fall in love with rimfire work.

The 21.00" round barrel gives this rifle a long sight radius and the easy balance hunters want when slipping through timber or working fence lines. The manual slide-action system keeps cycling simple, reliable, and fast without relying on ammunition pressure. With .22 LR, it offers economical accuracy for squirrels, rabbits, plinking, and rimfire target work. Feed it right and this Winchester still has plenty of bite left in the tank.

The straight walnut stock and grooved slide handle give it that unmistakable pre-modern Winchester feel. The takedown construction adds collector appeal and makes transport or storage more convenient. Visible wear, patina, handling marks, and stock scratches show honest use rather than safe-queen sterility. This one has lived a life, and that character is exactly what gives a vintage rimfire its soul.

The .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle chambering gives this rifle flexibility across quiet plinking, small-game hunting, and general rimfire utility. For ethical hunting, .22 LR is best kept to small game and pest control at sensible rimfire distances with proper ammunition and clean shot placement. The tubular magazine gives solid capacity while keeping the rifle trim and balanced. It is a classic American working rimfire setup with no nonsense attached.

Collectors know the Model 62A as one of Winchester’s great exposed-hammer pump rimfires, and the 1951 production date puts this one deep in the desirable post-war New Haven era. The blued steel, walnut furniture, takedown receiver, and period-correct profile make it instantly recognizable on the rack. It shows wear, but it also shows authenticity, use, and real Winchester heritage. For the buyer who wants a vintage shooter with collector gravity, this 62A brings the goods.
