Winchester model 63

[LT.Diver]

Hello to all,

I just recently decided ( after seeing a friend's) that I need a Winchester model 63, .22 rimfire rifle. I was hoping that perhaps someone out there might have some information on where I could purchase a nice one.
The thing is, I can find really nice high grade, engraved collectible examples and I can find some that look like they've been dragged behind a freight train. I'm looking for something in between. Nice, clean and original. Nothing fancy, just nice and clean.
If anyone could steer me in the right direction I sure would appreciate it.

Since they're collector items, I'd say that gunshows and the various online auction forums would be your best bet.

Taurus makes a reproduction of the 63 that sell for less than an origional would cost. If you are buying a rifle to shoot this is the one to seriously think about buying. I am saving to buy a Taurus 62 pump because my Expert model 1906 that I have had for 44 years has become too valuable to shoot on a regular basis. My Expert is supposed to valued at $1500. - 2000.
