I bought a Winchester 290 when I was 14 years old. Of course, this was before the gun control act of '68. It had more deluxe wood(impressed checkering) than the 190 but basically the same gun. $46.50 brand new in them days. Many squirrels and gophers found their way to the graveyard with that rifle. Good shooter, reliable, handy...still have one around. Works better than most .22 auto loaders.
