I already own a Win 61 pump and a Win 63 auto so my collection of small bore Winchesters is close to complete.

Don't forget the Winchester Model 52s in sporter and target styles! The very early Model 52 Target models with the speed lock are a great compromise between a sporter and a target rifle. They came with great sights and a very nice trigger. The early sporters are a bit pricey, running in the $3,000 to $5,000 range. The later ones made in Japan can be had for around a grand. A really nice early (first model) 52 Target rifle will run somewhere around $1,000 to $1,500 or thereabouts.
