- Lot Description
.22 WRF, 27" barrel, S/N 92853. Blued finish, smooth pistol gripped walnut stock with finger-grooved forend. The Model 68 was offered with a 5-power scope in .22 S,L, & LR or .22 WRF on March 9, 1937, with deliveries in July/August. 2.75-power scopes may have been offered for a short time but the Model 68 peep sight configuration caused the bases to be too far forward for optimum scope location. The Model 68 with standard iron sights and with see-through bases attached but without scope was priced at $6.85 in 1938. The 5-power scope cost $6.40. The factory-scoped Model 68 was discontinued in 1939. While production numbers for the factory-scoped Model 68 are not available, it appears that no more were produced than the factory-scoped Model 67 (387). This circa 1937-1939 .22 WRF Model 68 is equipped with a 5-power scope. Note the grooved forearm, the length of the scope, the see-through bases, and the spacing between the bases. The serial number is below the wood line. There are no proofs.
**Requires C&R or FFLVery fine, retains most of the blued finish with some lightly scattered surface oxidation. Mechanically functional, fine, bright bore. Stock with light handling marks. Clear optics.Condition
