Winchester Model 60A Sporting/Takedown .22 S/L/LR Single-Shot Bolt-Action, 27 Inch Barrel, 1930s
This Winchester Repeating Arms Model 60A Sporting/Takedown is a single-shot, striker-fired .22 from the 1930s with a 27 inch steel barrel and classic open sights. The barrel rollmark notes Model 60A and .22 Short/Long/Long Rifle with "Patent Pending," and the takedown configuration features a large slotted screw with a steel strap/loop on the fore-end underside. It retains a traditional blued finish with the bolt left in the white and a wood stock capped by a Winchester-logo hard rubber buttplate. As a pre-GCA era rimfire, it was not required to carry a serial number.

What’s Included
- Winchester Model 60A Sporting/Takedown rifle
The Sporting/Takedown configuration is identified by the large slotted takedown screw and steel strap/loop on the underside of the fore-end. This setup allows the rifle to be separated at the fore-end screw for convenient transport and storage while retaining the clean, full-length sporter profile.
The 27 inch steel barrel carries the correct rollmark noting "Model 60A" and ".22 Short/Long/Long Rifle" with "Patent Pending." The rifle is finished in a traditional blued color, while the bolt is intentionally left in the white, a detail consistent with this configuration and era.
Operation is single-shot via a striker-fired bolt action with a rear knurled cocking piece. Sighting is straightforward and period-correct, with a blade front sight set in a barrel dovetail and an open rear sight featuring a stepped elevator for height adjustment.
The wood stock has a straight comb and slight pistol grip, paired with a hard rubber buttplate marked with the Winchester logo. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches. Manufactured in the United States during the 1930s, this pre-GCA rimfire did not require a serial number.
