The Winchester Model 74 in .22 LR is a vintage semi-automatic rimfire rifle produced from 1939 to 1955, featuring a 21.5-inch barrel and a tubular magazine housed in the buttstock with a 14-round capacity for .22 Long Rifle. This blowback-operated design loads by pulling out the inner magazine tube through a port on the right side of the walnut stock, offering reliable feeding, minimal recoil, and straightforward operation in a lightweight package of about 6-6.5 pounds unloaded with an overall length around 43-44 inches. It includes an enclosed bolt, crossbolt safety, brass bead front sight, and adjustable rear sight, making it a popular, affordable choice for plinking, target shooting, small-game hunting, and even limited wartime training use-delivering fun, accurate performance with inexpensive ammo in a classic, no-frills American design still loved by collectors and shooters today.
