Very nice! What great guns....I have a model 61 made in 1948 and a model 62A made in 1953 and really enjoy them both.

That's a beauty, and great shooting besides!

Those 61's are sweet little rifles. I gave mine to my daughter, who was excited to have it. I'll keep my 1935 Model 62 until I can't shoot anymore.
