I dug to the back of a safe today and these came out for a picture. The models from top to bottom.

69A Target
69A Junior Target Shooters Special. JTSS
69A Match
69 Standard
69 Dual sight

This is just a few of the many variations of the 69A/69s. There is a really good and complete book out now on all the small points of these nice little rifles.

Oh wow, those are beautiful! That is one model that I've never handled or shot.

The older Winchester's are beautiful. I like the single shot rifles. Those are outstanding. Good for you.

Sweet!

I have one .22 single shot, a 1950s era F. W. Heym:

I think those old rifles are very cool!

Some version of the M 69 was what I spent a lot of time with at Boy Scout camps. Much more fun than tying diamond hitches or braiding something or other. We had a surprisingly amount of latitude with our daily activities and I chose well.

Very nice collection you have there; great little rifles. In 1962 or so I was mowing lawns after school for about $2 a lawn and thinking I was making big money. My cousins had 22s and I wanted one so pestered my Dad about letting me get one. He somewhat reluctantly said ok, thinking it would take awhile. The hardware store across the street ordered one and it showed up the very next day; a Winchester 69A for the grand sum, as I remember, of $32 and they threw in a box of ammo. Yes, in those days a 12 or 13 year old could buy a rifle no questions asked. Many a woodchuck went to a better place due to that accurate little rifle and I still have it. A few other .22s have joined it but that one has a special place in my memories.

Wonderful collection. The factory issue dual sight rifle is really something and not easy to find these days. These are great guns to collect as you can get a decent collection and not break the bank.
