Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 61 Hammerless is a refined and elegantly designed slide-action rimfire rifle, produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1932 to 1963. Chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges, this model showcases the versatility and mechanical precision Winchester became known for in the 20th century. This example features a 24-inch round barrel, a blued finish, and a classic sight setup consisting of a dovetail blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight for fine-tuning accuracy. The Model 61 was Winchester’s first hammerless pump-action .22, offering a sleeker, more modern profile compared to its predecessors, such as the Model 62. Its internal hammer and smooth cycling action make it a favorite among collectors and shooters alike.

Its internal hammer and smooth cycling action make it a favorite among collectors and shooters alike.
The rifle’s smooth hardwood stock and ribbed forearm offer both comfort and a traditional aesthetic, while the plain grip stock contributes to its streamlined design. Functionally, the Model 61 employs a unique action where the slide retracts the breechblock to extract and cock the rifle, and then chambers a new round from the under-barrel tubular magazine as the slide is pushed forward. The design is both simple and reliable—qualities that have made the Model 61 a lasting favorite in the rimfire world. While early variants were cartridge-specific, later examples—such as this multi-cartridge version—feature a revised lifter and rifling system that accommodates .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle interchangeably, enhancing its practicality. Regarded as one of the most elegantly executed pump .22s ever built, the Winchester Model 61 remains a cherished piece of Americana and a testament to Winchester's engineering excellence.
