Several paper targets at an indoor range . This was to determine which ammo shot best.
Federal Target won with sub minute of angle performance at 25, 50, 75. and 100 yards.

I have never hunted with the rifle but it should be a good small varmint buster.

Ive owned several of them but sold them when the price went sky high..Great Javalina, Turkey and coyote gun and up close the 22 magnum is a suitable deer gun under those condition, even for heart/lung shots..the Win. mod 61M was another great 22 magnum in its pump version..fun guns

Ray,
My first rifle was a Model 61 and it is a great gun. I won a lot of turkey shoots with it and put down many a prairie dog.
Here is a pic of my grandson shooting it a few years ago. Of course he is 21 and has his own guns now.

I have a Marlin 57M, which is an adult size 22 magnum with a pretty short lever throw. Used it a bit on groundhogs before I made my 20 Tactical.

Here's another "real" lever action .22 WMR...although I'm not exactly sure a "real" what...

Real weird? Real different? Real mid-century modern? Any of the above answers would likely serve. This is a Sears Model 5M (their boutique offering of the Winchester Model 225). This thing was birthed after The Great Winchester Upheaval of 1964...and was gone about 1970. Lots of aluminum and plastic ('cause that was "modern" back then) and a stock evidently crafted out of discards from an apple box factory...

Still, the thing shoots well enough (despite its cheap, airgun grade sights) and it's got a passable trigger. Feeds and ejects, too. Not perfectly, but in the low 90th percentile.

I'd needed a new "beater" to ride on the UTV with me and this relic seems to be doing just fine!
