I bought this winchester model 63 new in the box about 1971. I belive they quit makeing them in 1958. Dont know how that hid so long. Still had the hanging tag on it. I put the old bushnell 1X4 scopechief on it. I made a safequeen out of it, probley havent shot over 3 boxs or so. I decided to start shooting it. It is one of the last made of the originals. Serial # 173404.
