.22LR pump action takedowns

[graycrait]

Just wanted to share a pic and info. I recently acquired a couple of takedown pumps that have striking similarities. The top rifle pictured is a Winchester 62A from the 50's and the bottom one is a Rossi Interarms from the 90's I guess. Blue Book prices for the Rossi i the condition it is in are about 100.00, while the Winchester sits around 500.00. Both guns do what I want very well, shoot 20 grain Aguila Colibras in my backyard without bothering the neighbors.

I like them both. but the rossi is more in my budget right now. I would not mind finding one.

If you can find a Rossi M62 in decent shape for $100, it's a steal!!! They rarely go up for sale, and I normally see $200-250. While not a finely finished as the Winchester, most parts are interchangeable. The quality of the steel is very good. the most common problem is the cartridge lifter needs polishing. I picked up one cheaply that had this problem. A few minutes with some emery cloth fixed it.

The Rossi is a copy of the Winchester. I cannot speak to the quality of the Rossi, but you have one fine 22 in the Winchester!!!

Didn't Rossi discontinue sales of the M-62 here in the states? It was one I'd like to have. I like those pump .22s!
