Wichester 74 .22lr

[Savage Shooter]

I have a winchester 74 and I would like to get a manual for it. I would also like to know a little history about them and when this one was made. serial # is 500583A thanks

All I can tell you is that it was made after 1954, and depending on the condition of the receiver and wood, is probably worth about $250.

Really that much I was told a 150 in good condition and mine isn't in perfect condition it's in fair I'd say. The wood has scratches and it's at i'd guess 95% blueing and in need of a good cleaning but I love it and I haven't even shot it yet in fact it probably hasn't been shot in over 20 years it just sat in a gun cabnit in a large collection of my grandfathers collecting dust.

I am not sure if you are looking for the original manual, however, I purchased the one below which does the trick.

It includes pictures as well as text. If you need any help taking the rifle down, just let me know.

I could probably bumble my way through takedown if I had to but I would just like to have the book or an internet thing like something off of adobereader. Is it a good shooter I was thinking of taking it coon hunting when season gets in.

my granddad had one that was a .22 short only, he loved to squirrel hunt, my dad had one .22 long rifle, I still have it, one of the best open sight 22 rifles I've ever had. assembly and dissasembly are pretty straight forward, hope you get to shoot it before long.

here's an ad from when they came out
