I have a few 61's. Great rifles , fun to shoot, very well made. Some one suggested you have it D&T'd for a scope. That would be a big mistake.
The 61's in the last few years of production chambered a .22 Mag. Winchester brought out the .22 Mag in '59...the last of the 61's were a year or 2 later.
You did alright.
cisco,
I have to agree with you I would not do anything to this particular early highly collectible Model 61 meaning "do not scope it"!
I also like to shoot them besides collecting as another one would and can be scoped for shooting!
Their just not making any more Originals!!!
