Just got a Winchester model 61 Win Mag R.F. and need to get some info straight.
First the serial is 316xxx, what year is it?
if i am correct this shoots the standard 22 WMR? and it is not the 22 WRF only model? let me know if i am correct or not.
Lastly what is this worth in very good to good condition? (using the below determination for good to very good) It is about halfway in between. Has wear on bluing by slide, some minor rust spots on receiver. With no repairs, all original parts. i would say 85/90% of original finish. I was bought by my grandpa years ago and shot very little. But unfortunately was not kept oiled and clean.
"Very Good: A "very good" gun is in perfect working condition with no appreciable wear on working surfaces, no corrosion or pitting and only very minor scratches. All original parts with at least 80% of the original finish. Original metal surfaces are smooth. Lettering and designs are clear. Wood may be slightly scratched or bruised. There may be some very minor repairs or alterations.
Good: Some minor replacement parts are acceptable, but all parts must be working. The metal may be smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, and the gun may be cleaned and re-blued, although at least 50% of the original factory finish must be evident. Lettering and design is legible, and the wood may be refinished, scratched, bruised, or minor cracks repaired. Gun is in good and safe working order. The bore may have some wear and pitting."
