RE: 22 60a
I know your great grandad gave about 4 or 5 dollars for it when new.
My cousinhas one now that he got from his granpa.
I remember his Paw saying "Be careful with my 4 dollar rifle."
Everyone in their family learned on that rifle.
My cousin got to shooting so well with it he could light strike on box matches.
He used to draw smiley faces on leaves with it too.
People dont make rimfires like they used to. Back then it was the gun that kept you eatin. Now they are made for cheap fun.
I figure the last thing you want to do is sell it but if you did you could probaly get around $300 for it in fair condition providing the bore is good.
You would have to spend a thousand dollars on a rimfire today to achieve the accuracy of a 1930-1960 boltrimfire. IMO
Great Rifle!!!
