Re: Winchester Ranger .22 Leveraction

I believe the receiver is milled aluminum and the metal is anodized receiver barrel. From what I can figure out Turkish walnut and made in Turkey. Now I wonder how accurate they will be. Wondering if a 22mag will follow?

He is past the looking stage and needs our help! I would take the rifle apart and make sure its unloaded and then disassemble and clean it first. It just might be all gummed up.
