I had a great time plinking with my 67 this afternoon, once I got the scope adjusted. Scope? You won't see many Model 67 Winchesters with a scope, especially not this one

Some years back, I bought this 67 at a bargain price because the barrel had been cut for a vintage scope mount, unlike anything I had seen. It still had the rear open sight, so I went ahead and bought it.
While at the range one day, the club president noticed me shooting this 67 and walked on over to chat. He recognized the way the barrel had been cut and told me that the scope mount I needed was for an old Lyman Super Targetspot 10x and he just happened to have both the scope and the mount. He sold it to me at a friend's price with the promise that if I ever sold it, it would only be back to him.

Quite a history on this one. My friend verified that this 67 had probably been used as a target rifle at our local Scout Camp for many years. That explained why when I took the rifle home and started to clean the bore, the barrel was so leaded that the lead came out in strips. Not kidding. Oh, yeah, that was a very long cleaning session. Even so, once I got this old 67 cleaned up, took it to our local club range and it would still shoot half inch groups at 50 yards with target ammo.
Today, shooting CB Shorts and CCI Quiets at 25 yards from the deck, it still managed to outshoot the Browning BL-22 and the Remington 550-1 that I was shooting, recently. Not bad for an old trooper of a 22 rifle.
