The history of the Winchester Model 60 .22cal 23" barrel and no finger grooves starts in 1932/33 after WWI. It was believed that the Springfield Bolt Action would be the first choice for Marksmen, and to encourage training in the shooting sports. Winchester made 165,000 of them and marketed them in hardware catalogs as well as the Boy Scout publications including Boy's Life Magazine. After 1933 Winchester made the Model 60A Target Version with a 27" barrel, finger grooved forearm, and peep site aperture.

Saw the pix of the rifles and got mine out to have a look.

Turns out that is actually a Model 56 by Stevens.

It does have the peepsite.  The front sight was originally hooded, but got lost and was replaced.  I learned to shoot with it, and inherited it when my father passed.

It actually shoots pretty well.  But the peepsite sux for hunting.

Coffee was a lifeline this morning to calm down after panicking ?

With cold temperatures came the layering in clothes, and one unfortunate glance in the mirror under wrong angle made me look like all the curves and bumps in the chest area were  gone. I did not expect that feeling to be so strong and sudden. 

How do YOU survive winter????

I'm not sure, this is my first winter after coming out but I had the same exact experience this morning when taking the dog for her long morning walk. Oof.  I made sure when I got ready for work to pick out some nice clothes that were more form flatte ring and actually did my makeup today. Instantly made me feel better.  Now I just need this coat to keep warm and look feminine:

Oh, that coat is lovely. I want that.

It's on my wish list!

@KymmieL be careful what you ask for.  By tomorrow’s post there could be a foot of snow on here and a full on blizzard.

 

@Mmindy I am so far removed from the royals if you called me that the Beefeaters would would find me and throw in the Tower of London as an impersonator.  At least they don’t behead then draw and quarter any more.

Guess I’m not built right.  Based on their measurements guide.  To get it big enough in one place, it’s way too big in another.  And the style while pretty seems a bit young for me.

 

Hey @KymmieLi think it’s snowing harder!

 

Lady Willow. (Ok last time for that)

[Elizabeth Star]

I must’ve spent too much time in the South. I keep wanting to call you Ms. Willow. 

[Mmindy]

@Jandithat's a excellent Target Rifle, you're correct about peep sites not being good for hunting. It also looks like there's a magazine feed under the bolt action. The rifles from this era are accurate and the fixed sights are rugged to hold up to young shooters.

 

@ElizabethStarI was also raised to call ladies MsFirstName and finding out that Lady Willow is from the House of The Bruce, MsWillow is fitting.

 

@Willow you are to modest.

 

Good evening everyone,

 

Mindy???

[Willow]

Now that would be pretty normal here.  maybe not all that appropriate though, kinda of a throwback to the old south.  Oh and the productivity measurement of grocery cashiers isn’t how fast they scan but how friendly and talkative they are .

 

so if you are coming here from the north, especially the north east where everyone expects fast fast fast, be prepared for slow, slow, slow.

[Willow]

Snowflakes are getting bigger @KymmieL!

 

lol

 

Willow

[KymmieL]

 AIN'T  my fault, plead the 5th

 

Bri that coat is lovely.  I want one too. I will have to check the link when I get home.

You learn to appreciate it.

Dang… I'm looking at that now myself.

Wonder if I can come up with the funds?

This isn't the north woods, but I do like to be warm.

[Ann W]

Ok...I love that coat too.

I don't think I'll even look at the link.  I'm trying to save up for an electrolysis package.  Besides, it was 75 degrees here this morning.  Although, I am noticing that women's clothes are generally thinner, so I need more of them.

Even worse, they could make you marry Henry VIII.

Good morning everyone 

 

Not a great night, I was awake a lot with heartburn.  Then the canine alarm went off early.

 

not as cold this morning and possible 70 by the weekend.  Warmer temperatures good, variations not so good.

 

Ok, @KymmieLyou’re off the hook.  We aren’t buried in snow here at TGP land.

 

not much happening here.  My wife is trying to build inventory.  A local shop wants to display and sell her things.  She took a few things she had made just to show the couple that owns it and they asked her.  Yesterday she as working on something completely new.  You embroider some applicae on a base material then cork over that and uncover the the applicae.  It becomes the outside of a purse.

 

Coffee was good, just not exactly what my heartburn needed.

 

Until later.

[LaurenA]

I woke up at 2:30 this morning.  All of a sudden - wide awake.  It's going to be rough not taking a nap this afternoon.  I sure hope my sleeping medication refills get here today.

I predicted a blizzard, so we got nothing. If I predicted a trace then we would have the blizzard. that is the way the forecasts usually are around here.  like tomorrow only an inch is forecast we could get hammered.

 

Up early, stupid body doesn't know when to sleep in. So here I am having coffee with my friends. ??

 

So, my interview then I have speech therapy. I will post up what happens later.

 

Hugs,

 

Kymmie
