Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 61 Hammerless is a classic American rimfire rifle that combines elegant design with mechanical reliability, representing a transitional step in Winchester's lineup from the exposed-hammer rifles of the early 20th century to the sleeker, more modern firearms of the post-war era. Introduced as the successor to the Model 62, the Model 61 was Winchester’s answer to growing market demand for hammerless .22 rifles, spurred by the popularity of competitors like the Remington Model 12. This particular example is chambered for .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle cartridges, thanks to Winchester’s later modifications to the feeding mechanism and rifling, making it a versatile choice for plinking, small game hunting, or casual target shooting.

With its 24-inch blued barrel and smooth, streamlined receiver, the Model 61 has a refined appearance that matches its performance. The pump-action mechanism operates with the familiar ribbed forearm, providing a positive grip and smooth cycling, while the absence of an external hammer contributes to the rifle’s clean lines and snag-free profile. Sighting is handled by a bead blade front sight paired with an adjustable rear sight, offering quick target acquisition and precise shot placement. The walnut buttstock is smooth and elegantly contoured, delivering both aesthetic appeal and functional comfort. Although sales of the Model 61 were moderate compared to its competitors, with approximately 342,000 units produced, it remains a beloved and collectible firearm among rimfire enthusiasts for its craftsmanship, reliability, and the nostalgic charm of classic American gunmaking.
