Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 60 was the precursor to the Model 67, made only for a brief period from 1930-34 in the depths of the Great Depression. This rifle is in Very Good overall condition with about half of its original metal finish remaining. The bore is quite bright with well-defined rifling, and it retains strong mechanics. This rifle is perfect for teaching the fundamentals of shooting. There simply isn’t any safer firearm than a single shot, manually cocked rifle—the user is a part of every function all the way through.
