model 61's

I did a search for mentions of this little .22, and came up with NO entries. I have a hard time believing it has never come up, but my time here has never seen anything about this model. Correct me gentlemen...

AANNND then I find a thread from 2010. I didn't list 'Escort' in the search.

Are you talking about a Winchester Model 61? If so, I consider it to be the best .22 pump rifle ever made.

And I agree, a really good one! Especially that it was made in WRF & Magnum, as well!

I deleted my post. I overlooked that your post was in Smith & Wesson Semi-Auto Pistols. Sorry!

Fun little pistol to shoot, long history of many issues with earlier model pistols, pretty much skewed the perspective of them so when the -3 arrived there was little interest and S&W dropped it. I have a blue -3 that runs great with no issued, I'd love to pick up a nickel -3 but pricing is too high for what it is.
