I found this one in a pawn shop a few years ago. They were built from 1958 to 1961 with just over 30000 being made.

Do not relish to feel what the men that used these weapons felt when they saw the elephant. For the elephant has tusk and to see him is to have his tusk dig deep into your soul. You will always have a part of you that will be cold and empty.

Isn't that the one that is kind of like a single shot open bolt design? I have a Marlin 55 and I had a Gevarm but I sold it.
I'd like one of those thumb trigger .22 Winchesters. -
Nice looking example of a fairly hard to find rifle. When I first heard it called a single shot semi-auto, I thought WTH? I didn't realize it fired from an open bolt so you manually load, then the ejection is automatic. Here's mine, I've only taken mine to the range once but it was a lot of fun.

My Dad bought a new Winchester 55 for my brother back in the late 50's early 60's. Me with my Remington model 12 & him with his Winchester shot many jack rabbits with those rifles back then. He gave his son-in-law the win-55 but last time I saw the win-55 it was still in pretty good condition.Comment

45,060 were made from 1957 to 1961. One of the few Winchester models that were not serial numbered.Comment

Wasn't there an add that stated it was the fasted single shot rifle, and that someone had fired 60 rounds in one min.Do not relish to feel what the men that used these weapons felt when they saw the elephant.
