It was my first and most affordable "Pre-64" Winchester that I was able to obtain. There IS a big difference. I think the barrel is nominally a full 27" long. (How long before Jim butchers it to 16"?! - the horror! lol)

My favorite feature is the action is simply made from the barrel blank, the bolt handle is the locking point. This obviously is simple and looks elegant to me. The "Sears" and other store brands were mostly "Stevens" made guns in a similar fashion that I have examined. The seen were more High Standard or Marlin made and used a separate reliever, I think.

The Stevens and also Iver Johnson Model X also used the receiver in barrel manufacturing trick. Ditto many European makers.
