For me I want to find a Winchester 141 .22.
Ive got some very nice .22's including 40X's
The Win 141 has a poor trigger, stamped parts, compressed sawdust stock, chinsy grooved receiver scope mount (mine stayed iron sighted).... but a very nice tubular magazine that is situated in the buttstock, and fed from the buttplate. 22 short, long, and long rifle.
But I spent 2 months of my 15th summer in the Wind River Range horse and backpacking with one as a constant companion. I ate A LOT of grouse that summer.
I totally forget what happened to it. Id love to find another one. I find the Win 121 (single shot), the Win 131 (detachable box magazine), but no 141's.
I lost my boots, pants, and fishing pole in a river crossing accident, but held on to that rifle! (Took them off to cross the river and the river was much deeper and swifter than I thought, lost my footing and finally pulled myself out two turns down the river)
It was an embarrassing moment returning to camp!!!
