Summary: 

Today we take a look at the classic slide-action (pump-action) Winchester Model 62.  The 62 & 62a, also known as the “gallery gun” for its common use in fairs around the country, is a take-down rifle that is able to accept most .22 caliber rimfire cartridges, specifically .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle.  On our range trip we shoot three different 22lr loadings and see how well it does at 50 yards.

I have a Winchester 62A made in 1947 that I inherited from my maternal grandfather. It still shoots great and the last time I took it out to the range was last year. It is one of three Winchesters that I own. I did a thorough cleaning of it the last time I took it out to the range.
