Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced by Winchester in 1938 as a lighter, more economical companion to their legendary Model 52 match rifle, the Model 75 Target was specifically engineered for high school, collegiate, and junior NRA target shooting programs. Utilizing a hand-fitted bolt action w/ Winchester’s crisp "Speed Lock" firing pin system, a 28-inch heavy match-contour barrel, and a full-sized walnut stock w/ an adjustable forearm sling rail, the Model 75 Target delivered surgical rimfire precision. Outfitted w/ premier vintage target optics—a Lyman 58E micro-adjustable receiver peep sight and a Redfield Olympic globe front sight—the Model 75 Target remains a cherished landmark in 20th-century American marksmanship history.
This specific example is an authentic Winchester Model 75 Target bearing low serial number 12085, manufactured in 1940 during the desirable pre-WWII production era. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it features a 28-inch heavy target barrel, factory blued finish, plain American walnut target stock w/ forearm sling track, a Lyman 58E micrometer rear sight, and a Redfield Olympic globe front sight. Displaying deep blued surfaces, a mirror-bright bore w/ sharp rifling, tight bolt lockup, and a glass-smooth match trigger break, this pre-war Model 75 Target is a standout collectible for Winchester and rimfire target enthusiasts.
