I've wanted a good one that was made late enough to be grooved for scope mounts ever since I was about 14 or so. Money and opportunity never came together, but did this afternoon.
My main workhorse .22 rifle is a Winchester 72A, same rifle only tube loading. It's a good one, but not near as nice as the 69A I got this afternoon and got a good deal on it. It came with a ten shot mag, so I ordered a couple of the regular, five shot ones. I plan to scope it with one of those Wolf Pup copies of the old baby Redfields that I'm hearing good things about.
I don't shot rimfires much anymore, but had always lusted after a Winchester 69A and nice Marlin 39A. Took care of the Marlin itch a few years ago, not I have the other one. Pretty good day for me.
