The Winchester 62A although being awesome, is way overpriced. I can't seem to find one under 500 and in good condition.
Overpriced?
No, original Winchester 22 pump rifles hold their value because they were better made than any of the c**p being made today.
At the top of this photo is a Model 1890, made in 1928. Although there is no blue left on it anywhere, and it has plenty of dings and bumps, the bore is as shiny as when it left the factory in 1928. I was happy to pay $650 for it. At the bottom of the photo is my Dad's old Model 1906 Winchester, which his dad bought for him back in the 1930s. Classic gallery rifle, notice how short the stock is. I have no idea what Pop paid for it in the 1930s, but it is still a tack driver.
Or, there is always the Winchester Model 61. An updated model without the exposed hammer. This one left the factory in 1946, and it too is a tack driver. I was happy to pay $425 for it a bunch of years ago.
The Model 62A was a continuation of the 1890, 1906 Models. The 1890 was specific to 22 Short, 22 Long, or 22 Long Rifle. The one pictured above is chambered for 22 Long Rifle. When the Model 1906 came along, it was able to feed all three, 22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle.
I think if I found a Model 62A with a good bore for $500, I would run to the check out counter as fast as I could.
