The standard Winchester 61 had a 24” barrel, 13.5” length of pull, 1 7/8” drop at comb followed by a 3” drop at heel. Overall length was 41”, and the gun weighed 5 3/4”.

The 61s slotted between the Winchester Model 62 and 63 in price and features.

Winchester 61s featured side-ejection ports. The hammerless architecture gave it a very sleep, low-profile receiver. Thus, the barrel appears to slot into the receiver, but then the receiver and stock harmonize as almost as a single unified piece of work.

The gun has gone through tweaks over the years, but a common configuration was a bead front sight backed by a sporting rear sight. The receiver was grooved permitting easy scope mounting.

The tube magazine .22 ammo capacity was 20 short, 16 long and 14 long rifle for the .22 model and 12 shots for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire for the other.

The pump-action has vertical ribbing around the hull, so to speak, while the smooth stock has a nice semi-curved pistol grip that leads to the straight butt. The Winchester 61 was made in New Haven, Connecticut and thus Made in USA.
