About the Winchester Model 320
The Winchester Model 320 is an American bolt-action .22 rimfire sporting rifle produced in the early 1970s. Chambered for .22 Long Rifle and fed from a flush-fitting five-round detachable box magazine, it featured a walnut stock with pressed checkering, a grooved receiver for scope mounts, and open sights. Its actions were manufactured in Australia, and it was made in relatively small numbers during a short production run.
A short-lived entry in Winchester's bolt-action rimfire line, the Model 320 is remembered by collectors for its clean sporting lines and surprisingly good accuracy, rivaling far more expensive rifles despite its modest production and Australian-made action.
