Convenient cross bolt safety design.
Elegantly contoured
pistol grip stock.
The quick take-down feature allows you
to easily disassemble your Model 63 into
two halves. Loosening a knob on the rear
of the receiver is all it takes. The take-
down feature also makes it easy to clean
and oil your rifle.
All Model 63 Classic Traditions
feature beautifully finished walnut
stocks and cut checkering.
All-steel receiver and steel components. Every
component of every mechanism is of durable
metal — just like the originals.
The styling of the Model 63 is uncommonly balanced. And
its good looks are matched by equally balanced handling
and natural shouldering.

The receiver top is machined to accept a groove-type scope mount.
Even though it is a takedown design, the special way that the bar-
rel and receiver top stay together locks in precision and assures
accuracy no matter how many times you take down your rifle.
The buttstock loading system is conve-
nient and easy for any hands, young or
old. Loading the magazine is performed
with the rifle comfortably cradled in
your arm. (opposite side)
Sights are made to handle rough
conditions. Front and rear sights
are drift adjustable for windage.
The rear sight also features an
elevator system for quick elevation
changes.

Operating the action is fast
and convenient with the
unique operating sleeve
design. Push in on the end of
the sleeve to work the action.
Depressing then turning the
operating sleeve tip locks the
action open.
Semiautomatic blow-back action design.
The Model 63 is based on the Model
1903, which was the first semiauto
made by Winchester. The basic design
proved so reliable that it lead to the
development of a full line of Winchester
rimfire and centerfire semiautos.
The magazine tube is mounted
in the buttstock. A twist on
the knob and it partially
removes for loading or fully
removes for easy unloading.
