I'm glad to see this thread get back to the top as I'm a Winchester .22 junkie. I got this Winchester 61 .22 Magnum last year at a gun show. It had a sign on it $1000.00 or best offer by Sunday afternoon. I had never gave that much for a .22, but I knew the magnums were bringing top dollar so I bought it. I could have sold it for a profit before leaving the show. It is as near perfect as a used gun can be. I've checked Gunbroker and they're bringing $1,500.00-$1,700.00, so it looks like I did well. I have a standard 61 .22S,L,LR about as nice. When i was a kid I wanted a pump Winchester very badly, I'm getting there.
