Mod 69A Winchester .22 from about 1954-57. Oil soaked stock in very good order , no finish on barrel but amazing rifling. All sights present and correct , receiver grooved for scope .

Already apart and in process of being overhauled. Shouldnt be too big a process ;-)

Nice - good to see Santa being good to Santa haha. We'll require a report on how it shoots . . .

Sig P-210 6 T

9x19mm Parabellum.
I have shot a 6" 7 shot group with this at 100m from a rest on a frosty Morning.One of the world's most accurate center fire pistols and pretty much an example of Swiss firearms perfection.

Back in the 90's I lived in Switzerland. Had a young family back then but still wanted to keep doing something with firearms. So I joined a small country pistol club. I managed to secure my pistol license and started action shooting.
I bought a Sig 226 and spent some great Saturdays shooting with a group of guys that really took me in as there only 'English speaker'. I managed to learn all the commands in German and enjoyed it very much.
Getting to my point, all the top shooters at the club used the Sig 210. Handling a 210 compared to a 226 was like comparing a Sauer 90 with a Sauer 100. They are one of the slickest precision pistols I have had the pleasure to shoot.

I have a 67A single shot, very nice timber. Yours should tidy up very nicely.

@muzza that truly warms the heart. Something special about good American black walnut when it’s treated well.

I acquired this new un-fired vintage Tikka M55 in .243.
I believe it was manufactured somewhere between 1975 & 1979.
Interesting rifle. Made when Tikka was independent of Sako. No plastic anywhere on this one.

Very nice rifle and I'm not doubting its age
But were zip lock bags around in 1979 ?

I bought one of these new in 1979. I thought I was the bees knees. Finding one NIB in 2020 is exceptional. Well done. Nice rifle. I bet it will shoot well.

Beautiful rifle Chris, had one in 308 many many years ago, foolishly sold it on, as we did.

I bought my Tikka in '76, a 22.250, looked exactly like that. All these years later, it still shoots .75moa, great rifles, have fun.
