My first firearm was a Win. Mod. 67. I don't know what happened to it,got lost over the years I guess. I picked up one on the ee a while ago. Can't believe how accurate they are. Anyone else have any experience with them? Perfect first rifle.

I've owned about a half dozen over the years, plus a couple of the peep sighted versions [Model 68] They have good barrels and shoot well. The only real drawback is the trigger....lousy is the best word to describe the triggers. As you said, a perfect first rifle, and since they have to be "cocked" by hand after loading in order ti fire them, they are easy to teach safety with. Regards, Eagleye.
FS; Soooo True!! My first 22 rimfire, given to me by my dad when I was 7, was a Winchester Model 1902 Single shot. It was classisfied as a "rabbit" gun. Fixed sights [no elevation provision] and a trigger that was in the same class with the M67/68, but I shot a lot of gophers with that old 22. I would actually like to know how many rounds I shot out of it. Alas, when I was a youth, I never thought much about it. At the time we could buy 22 LR for 59 cents and 22 shorts for 39 cents a box. A lot of my berry picking dough went into ammo to feed my 22. FWIW, my second 22 was a model 67, and I could see the benefit of that longer sight radius immediately. Regards, Eagleye.
