Picked this up today fairly cheap. It has a chrome bolt and there is some mild rust on the barrel but the bore is nice. The black walnut stock and Winchester logo are what closed the deal for me.  This is my first .22 caliber rifle. Can anybody tell me anything about it?

These are awesome little rifles. Simple as can be, meant to be affordable to folks who needed a nice little .22 on the cheap. Loading and cocking are fairly simple. Pull back the bolt, load a single round. Close bolt. Pull back the little cocking knob till it locks. You are now ready to fire. The safety is sort of striker blocking affair the you rotate into position so that it retracts, holds and blocks the striker. Now, I had a 67A...I am not sure if the straight 67 has the same feature. These are GREAT little guns. I've killed a zillion gophers with one and wish I still had mine. Fortunately, it IS still back on the farm in Iowa, nestled quitely in a closet.

Hello Panzer... Ditto on the reply you got about the Win. 67 being a wonderful little rifle. And simple. And accurate enuf for plinking. Enjoy Panzer. Looks like you have a great one. The value in the 2007 Std catalog of Firearms - (condition, condition, condition) in VG condition is $150.00. As both you and I know this value is only a guide. The Model 67 is the upgraded version of the Model 60 and 60A (target sights). The Mo. 67 was introduced in 1934 and dropped in 1963 after about 384,000 being produced (from Standard Catalog of firearms). I was given one a month ago - MFR 1935 - from a friend that was moving; he had 6 rifles from his grandfather that were gathering dust (and a little rust haze). Cleaned (not renovated) the metal, the wood, gave both life with Tru-oil and wax, and Kroil (not in that order), and 0000 steel wool, and boy, what a difference! The little rifle looked up at me and said "Thank You!. I am being appreciated again!" The chromed bolt is flaking - can't do anything about that. Shoots great. |

I have two of them, well actually, one 67 and one 68. The only difference between the 67 and the 68 is the sights. The 68 has a rear peep sight. The 68 I have has a standard leaf sight so it is hard to tell the difference. My dad has one that is cut down to 16", he used it to shoot out coons for the hounds. With CB longs all you hear is the click.
