They are sweet shooters. Mine hangs up on cheep ammo on occasions but loves mini mags.

Nice rifle! I have one of the Japanese-Winchester Model 63's that they made back in 2001 in a short run. I have a Leupold Rimfire 2-7x28 scope on it and it shoots about 1 inch groups at 50 yards. They do need premium ammo to work properly. Mine runs 1240 fps on up ammo just fine.

Mine is not tapped or grooved for scope mounts.

Oh right the Model 63 was introduced in 1933 and the earlier models did not have 3/8's scope grooves until just before stopping production in 1958. I forget about that because mine has them, Duh!
