They shoot like they have eyes…lol, my dad bought me the 62a in about 1963 for $30 in a junk store in pristine condition! MTA member NRA Benefactor Life Member Winchester Arms Collector’s Assn.

I also have a Remington 141 GameMaster chambered in 35 Remington to match up with the 121. Both carry the factory peep sight. I'm always on the lookout for a 141 carbine in nice shape. Don't see many of them around. It seems when you do find one they are well used and could use some cosmetic TLC. The 1890 wasn't chambered for the 22 magnum. Actually was the 22 WRF ( 22 Winchester Rim Fire). You're correct, not sure why I was thinking that.

I read the the .22 WRF was all but obsolete making the rounds all but impossible to find. Now I see that's not the case. That would have opened up a lot more options. I wanted something that wasn't just a relic but something I could shoot. I also read these are caliber specific meaning a rifle chambered in .22 WRF or .22 LR won't cycle .22 Shorts. Maybe that's bad info, I don't know.

Regarding the Model 1890, I'm pretty sure it will only shoot (and cycle) the 22 round it is designated for.
