Great little rifles! Pre-WW2 production, frequently seen in .22WRF but many in .22 LR/L/S as well, the WRF Winchester Rimfire variants are "collector only" models due to near impossibility of acquiring ammo for shooting purposes.

Very sleek design, internal hammer, takedown action. In .22LR version they are a joy to shoot (paying the price for .22 WRF ammo will take away any joy you might expect!).

Relatively popular, but production was cut short by WW2 and only a few folks were buying new .22 rifles during the Great Depression anyway. So this is one that is not seen every day, and in excellent condition (as described) it is one to put away for the future!

Like most vintage firearms, replacement parts are difficult to find. But the Winchesters of this era are pretty robust and seldom break down unless subjected to mishandling in some way. As long as everything is functioning as it should I would not hesitate to make an offer, hoping to add a Model 61 to the existing herd in the gun safe.

Assuming excellent condition, as described, I would expect a price tag north of $600, perhaps closer to $900, depending on seller's knowledge and need to sell.
