I was crusing the pawn shops and found a few old 22s .I wanted another 10-22 Ruger and saw a few old 22s .There was a Remington bolt action single shot and a Winchester 69 A in very good shape.I got it for $100.I was suprised how high they were on the internet and they were only made 4 years .I really like how well its made and the fit.I do want to find another clip or two just in case.I cant wait to shoot this thing.

Good luck!!Took me 8 yrs to find a replacement bolt handle,sights[peep],and original clip,the rifle it'self is a sweet ride!!Love mine!!,,enjoy,,Clay

I bought one used in 1961 and still have it. Payed $25 including a 4X Weaver scope.

It shouldn't be too hard to pick up a clip at a gun show or on Ebay.

Try some different brands of ammo and see what works best.

Brownell's sells a quality mag with a W stamped on the bottom. I use (in a mod. 52) Brownell's mag when hunting and leave the original at home. The model 52, 75 and 69 take the same magazine.

Congrats on your 69!

I have a collection essays published in England in the late 1930's and one of them bemoans the fact that British gunmakers can't make a rifle that shoots as accurately as the 69 for an affordable price. The writer was very high on it.
I've owned several and usually traded them. I like the Remington 500 series better. Just my preference.
