I became a grandfather in June so, of course, had thoughts for the grandson regarding his first rifle. For my three sons I picked up a used 10-22 stock at a gunshow, chopped it and it worked fine. I passed that stock on to someone here many years ago so figured I keep my eyes open for another. On a casual visit to one of my LGS's I noted a short rifle in the used rack behind the counter. I asked to look at it to find it was a pretty high condition Winchester 121-Y single shot. I told them I wanted it for my newborn grandson. They were asking $150 for it but offered it for $125. So home it came. They were made from 1967 to 1973. It has a 20 3/4" barrel, 12 1/4 LOP and weighs 5 pounds. It is missing the sight elevator but one is on the way from Numrich. I dug through my scopes and found a mint Japanese 18 mm Bushnell Custom 22 4X scope with the "integral" mount that may fit the theme. Optically a pretty impressive piece, we'll see. Neat little rifle. Now it's the wait.
