I'm hoping that I can get some help identifying this Winchester Model 63 that I inherited from my late grandfather. He purchased the rifle on 3/12/1960 for $74.
It has a 23" barrel with grooves on the top of the receiver, on which a Weaver scope is mounted. The serial is 176XXX, which is very high, based on the research I have been able to do. I'm not sure when it was manufactured, but it was in one of the last years of the model run.
Condition is excellent with only shallow scratches on the wood. No rust and 99% blueing remains on the metal. It's been a few years since I shot it, but I don't remember having any problems when I did so.
I have the original instructions and hang tag, but unfortunately, not the original box.
Any idea what it might be worth or which year it was manufactured? Does the high serial number contribute anything towards the value that it might have?
Thanks for looking!
