Winchester Model 67

About the Winchester Model 67

The Winchester Model 67 is a single-shot, bolt-action .22 rimfire rifle produced by Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1934 to 1963. An inexpensive plinking and small-game rifle chambered interchangeably for .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle (with an optional .22 WRF chambering added in 1938), it used a manually cocked striker fired by pulling back the cocking knob at the rear of the bolt. With a 27-inch barrel, one-piece walnut stock, and open sights, it sold for as little as $5.50 at introduction and became one of Winchester's best-selling boys' and utility rifles.

Descended from Winchester's John Browning-derived single-shot .22 rifles of the Model 1900 lineage, the Model 67 was a Depression-era economy rifle that put an affordable, durable plinker into the hands of a generation of young American shooters at a suggested retail of $5.50.

Winchester Model 67 specifications

The Model 67 was never serial numbered, making individual examples difficult to date. A shortened Junior (Boy's) Model with a 20-inch barrel appeared in 1937, a 24-inch Miniature Bore Target model in 1940, and the improved Model 67A succeeded it after the war. The scope-fitted Model 677 was a short-lived and now collectible variant.
