A friend is looking to sell the following rifles. He is not a gun person and asked me to assist.

First is a Winchester Model 61 22 wrf. Serial #68094 (I believe 1947 make).
Pics show condition but there is some pitting on the barrel and mag tube. And the stock has a slight crack.

Next is a Browning BPR 22 Magnum. Nice condition with a Weaver Scope from same Era.

Looking for price advice (have done some research, just want to verify).
These will probably be in Classifieds soon.

IMHO I'd hold on to the Browning. I wonder how many were made covering all years of production for that exact model. Looks to be in nice condition.

I have a Winchester model 61. Admittedly, mine is in much better condition, but if the interior of that barrel is intact, it should be deadly accurate. It's worth a pretty good chunk of change. Can't remember exactly how much, I'll have to dig around, but a very nice .22 Magnum. I have the other two pump Winchester rifles that were made in that fashion as well. Model 62 I think and 1890. The 62 being .22 short, long, and long rifle while the 1890 is .22 short. All scary accurate and worth a bundle. They are sometimes referred to as "gallery rifles" as they were used in shooting galleries at fairs and such. I'll check on the worth.
