The Standard Sporting Rifle configuration includes a 24 inch round Winchester Proof Steel barrel chambered in .32 Winchester Special and a short/half-length tubular magazine for a 5+1 capacity. This setup balances handling with adequate round count in a classic field-oriented trim.
The receiver is top-eject and not drilled or tapped on the top. The left side is factory drilled and tapped for a receiver/peep sight, offering period-correct sighting options without altering the receiver top. Iron sights include a ramped front sight and a barrel-mounted adjustable rear with elevator.
Furniture consists of a walnut pistol-grip buttstock and a smooth walnut fore-end with a fore-end cap. A checkered steel shotgun-style buttplate with a widow's peak completes the classic look and shoulder feel. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
Manufactured in the USA in 1940, this Model 64 reflects Winchester's mid-century sporting rifle design. The clean, mirror-bright bore complements its original features, making it a straightforward choice for those who value configuration correctness and shootable barrel condition.
