I have one from the last year ( 1963 ) that my Father bought that is 99% pristine condition. I remember my Dad telling me that once he heard they were going to stop making it, he called all gun shops around the Seattle area, but they were all sold out..he finally found one at a place in Kent.

He gave me this last year along with a never fired Winchester model 52b made in 1939. This is a heavy barrel target .22 that is the Holy grail amongst competion shooters.
