just happens to be a Winchester 69A I picked up about 20 years ago as part of a collection for the grand price of $17.50.. It was dirty and needed a good cleaning but this little gem digests just about every brand of ammo I put through it..
It completely original with the original Winchester peep sights and its an erly model not grooved for scope.
So whats your favorite PLINKER..
I've got one of those too. I don't think mine is grooved I just use the peep sight. Have to get it out shooting again.
Mine would have to be my very first rifle (Christmas present 1973), an Ithaca M-49. It's a falling block single shot and is a hoot to plink with. Although a single shot, it looks like a scaled down Win94, so to my 12-year-old eyes, it was my cowboy gun.
My two .22's are a Contender Carbine .22lr Match w/older Weaver K3 scope and a 5 1/2" OM Single Six revolver. I'm good.
I've got a bunch of .22 rifles, but the one that puts a smile on my face every time for plinking is my Remington 121 pump rifle from 1940. It's just a joy to pick up, load and shoot off hand with. It's not a paper puncher, but it fits me just right and seems to self zero on any small target within 65 or so yards.
Liberalism is a cult divorced from reality.
When I grab a rifle for pure plinking pleasure, I snag one of these old reliables. Every one of them is 100+ years old and the bunch of them have taught quite a flock of boys and girls how to shoot. The stocks are carved with several of their initials.
My personal favorite is the one with the sling - Remington Model 6. I've spent many hours rehabbing and repairing them with out ever refinishing the old stocks or steel. Most of them needed new hammer springs, and frequently firing pins. They account for many dead starlings in my yard. jd

It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.
My Remington 581 that my parents bought new for me 55 years ago

My first is my favorite to this day. It is an early 50's Marlin 39A. I remember going with Dad to the Marlin plant about 1960 and him buying a buttstock for it as it didn't have one. Dad gave it to me in 1961 for my 8th birthday. I still have it and it shoots where I point it !
My favorite plinker is my Ruger Mk4 with a Red Dot.
