Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 290 is a semi-automatic .22 rimfire rifle produced from 1963 until 1977, positioned as a modern, affordable, and dependable plinking and small-game option within Winchester’s rimfire lineup. It was designed during a period when rimfire autoloaders were becoming increasingly popular, and Winchester sought to offer a sleek, contemporary rifle that paired traditional styling with updated manufacturing methods. With its alloy receiver, tubular magazine, and clean profile, the Model 290 provided shooters with reliable functioning and a smoother, more streamlined appearance compared to earlier rimfire designs. It was chambered for both .22 LR and .22 Short, giving it versatility for recreational shooting. Throughout its production run, the Model 290 was offered in both standard and deluxe variants, with the latter featuring checkered walnut furniture and upgraded aesthetic touches. The rifle earned a reputation for its straightforward handling and dependable cycling, making it a favorite for informal target shooting, farm use, and youth training. In 1977, Winchester replaced the model with the updated 490 series as part of a broader shift in their rimfire offerings. Today, the Model 290 remains appreciated by collectors and shooters who value classic Winchester rimfires from the post-64 era, combining nostalgic appeal with practical performance.
