Looking for feedback on these rifles and this one is in 6mm. Not much on the companies web page and I was wondering if anyone here owned or used one? What do they sell for used?
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
wichita rifles are 1st class accuracy products. never were cheap & I believe they are in the 2-3000 range today. used one years ago for silhouette shooting
I have seen 2 witchitas. Absolute tack drivers. Mostly used for silhouettes. The ones I saw where 7 IHMSA and 6ppc. The 6ppc one had a Shilen trigger due to the owner saying he had "problems" w/ the factory one.

I worked for Wichita back in the 70's as a metalsmith/toolmaker. The actions were all made in-house. Barrels were Douglas Premium, stocks were made by Fajen, and the action was made to use Remington style triggers. I don't see them for sale very often, so I'm not sure what the going rate is. I'm predjudiced but I thought they were/are very fine guns.
Didnt Wichita Arms also buld actions for Champlin Arms? I remember reading something about that somewhere's.May have been for another company, Memory gets foggy at times!

Yes they did. The contract was finished by the time I started working there but there were many fixtures and tools around the shop from that job. We also built a pair of Great Lakes biplanes for Doug Champlin. Seems he had some varied interests.
