This barrel was shortened to 20 inches (510 mm), the length of the stock was reduced by 1.19 inches (30 mm), and its weight was 4.5 pounds (2.0 kg), 0.5 pounds (0.2 kg) lighter than the standard model. In August 1937, acting on a suggestion by Adolph Topperwein, Winchester introduced a smaller version intended to be marketed as a child's first rifle. The Model 68 was effectively rendered redundant when its special sights became optional on the Model 67 in August 1943, but the rifle was not actually discontinued until 1944, and deliveries from inventory continued into 1945. The Model 68 was basically a Model 67 with a hooded front sight and an aperture rear sight. The Model 68 was conceived as a replacement for the slow-selling Model 60A Target model which was designed for the competition market. Several variants of the Model 67 were produced. The rifle featured a stock made of plain uncheckered walnut with a pistol grip and finger grooves, and was a takedown design the barreled action was easily removed by turning a screw under the stock using a penny (first year models had a knurled thumbscrew that could easily be loosed by fingers). 22 Long Rifle cartridges interchangeably. When it was first introduced, the rifle could chamber. Other versions had a simple post front sight and a buckhorn rear sight that was drift-adjustable for windage.
The Model 67 had a 27-inch (690 mm) barrel with a beaded front sight and a U-notch rear sight (adjustable for elevation), both dovetailed into the barrel, drift-adjustable for windage. The rotating, winged style safety was similar in operation to that found on the then-standard military rifle, the M1903 Springfield. The Model 60 had a similar rotating safety but those Model 60 guns having the "SAFE" and "FIRE" indications were read through oblong holes in the bolt the wing safety made the safe/fire condition more readily apparent from a distance. As with the Model 60 from which it was derived, the cocking piece at the rear of the bolt had to be manually drawn rearwards to cock the action after closing the bolt, but the design was improved to incorporate a wing-style safety. Contentsĭue to intense competition for entry-level single-shot rifle buyers, Winchester embarked on a program in the early 1930s to reduce the production costs of the entry-level Model 60, which was itself a reduced-cost version of the earlier Model 1904. A rare variant, the Model 677, was produced with telescopic sights and no provisions for iron sights. Based on the earlier Model 60, the Model 67 was the mainstay of Winchester's inexpensive single-shot rifle lineup. 22 caliber rimfire rifle sold from 1934 to 1963 by Winchester Repeating Arms Company.
