Nothing compares to the Remingtion MOS-SKEET-O miniature traps and targets to be shot with .22 smoothbore guns. They even had a exhibition team with uniforms.

And there were no school shootings then. Chicago did not have over 1300 shootings I a year. My dad had his loaded shot gun by the door on the back porch. We kids ever touched it. On our farm, we saw animals killed by guns, and we knew that dead is dead, not cartoon “dead”.

A few of them I remember and some I don’t.
The Weatherby, Remington nylon 66, and the Mattel are all familiar. I have seen some of the others in reprints etc.

The really surprising thing to me on that Sears catalog is the break barrel air rifle.
My cousin in the 1950s had a Crosman pump up but I don’t think I ever saw one of those spring piston ones until maybe the 1970s.
I guess the Daisy’s are technically spring piston but not really the same thing.

My uncle would bicycle to school with his rifle for target practice after school on the school’s shooting team.
My daughter’s middle school recently went under renovation. Part of it was converting an indoor shooting range in the basement.

"Uniforms"? They're practically naked. And the problem is?
To: GregoTX
I buy every good condition Winchester 67 I come across. Keep a couple around to pot pests, but give them to friends who have kids of shooting age. It is truly the best starter gun. Sometimes I take one to the local range with a box of shorts and remember being 12 years old again.
To: GregoTX
Daddy had that exact same Winchester single shot when he was a boy. He was born in 1918 so it was probably around 1930 when Granddaddy ordered it for him.
They made the mistake of also ordering a box of .22LR at the same time and even back then the U.S.P.O. would not deliver ammo.
They had to drive to Florala, Alabama to get it from Railway Express. My Nephew has it now.

Somebody needs to post ads from the 50's run by the "Shooter's Den" in Alexandria, VA!
