I was in a gun shop wasting time and scanning the used gun racks. There was a mint condition Winchester Model 69A .22 bolt action with open sights. I picked it up and approached a clerk to set it back on layaway. Other customers were attracted like predators and wanted to examine the jewel in my hand. There was no way they were ever going to sweat on this prize. I will pick it up next week. I hate it when that happens. All the best...

Congrats. .22's will never go out of favor for young and old alike.

Which model is it? Standard, Match (with Winchester adjustable rear sight) or Target (with Lyman 57EW peep sight)
FYI they also come with a 5 round mag but a 10 round mag was availible.

inthedark,
It is a standard model with open sights and a grooved receiver. I have two match models that I picked up years ago. All the best...
