I just picked up a Winchester model 67. I’m shooting 22 short sub-sonic ammo. The fun has returned.

I was just looking at some 67s in GB. Anything specific you like?

I always wrote the 67 off as a youth gun. The barrel is long and the sights are great. I’m surprised at what I can hit with it. The sub-sonic ammo is close to silent.

Factory sights?

I think I know what you mean. Getting older, I haven't been able to shoot anything with iron sights well for a while.. This summer I couldn't resist a good buy on a new BL-22. Took it to the range, and those fine iron sights just didn't let me hit much. So I ordered a Skinner peep sight and a post front, and couldn't believe how well I could shoot that little rifle with those sights. Felt like a kid again. A LOT of soda cans, empty shotgun shells, and other plinking targets met their match this summer! A friend and I spent a morning trimming small branches off a dead ash tree down in a coulee....it was fun watching 2" of branch disappear with each shot. So enjoy that 67!

The gun is in 90% condition. The front post is tiny. I’ve been giving the beer cans he’ll.

I killed my first squirrel with a Mod 67 shooting shorts 60 years ago, still have the rifle, it was my grandfathers.

Took my dad's 67 out of the back of the safe this spring. Not too bad for a 84 year old rifle and 66 year old eyes.
50 yards. 10 shots. open sights.

Good shooting! I'm a year younger, and essentially can't see regular iron sights . So far, peeps are working ok, but the front is still blurry. Boy, do I like old 22's!
