After a about a twenty year search!!????, for one I thought was worth the asking price I got one!:D
It is in about 90-95% condition, a '79 production? (21268xxx), couple little scratches but VERY nice overall! and it's a shooter TOO!!!:cool:
It had a Bushnell 4x20 Banner on it but it came off as soon as I got home (I may mount it on my 458 WinMag?) and mounted a Simmons 22MAG 3-9x32 on it and went out shooting, it was on the paper, I got the trajectory right but the windadge wouldn't come in, figured it was the cheap scope?, NOPE! it was a loose mount, and I stared at those screws for ten minuets and was just to lazy to go out in the garage to get the correct screw driver!:rolleyes:
The iron sight we spot on!! and MAN! is this gun tight!

At this point I believe my 22 riffle collection is finally complete!!!??, I am a HAPPY!!!! camper now!, but i think I'm going to pony up for a Leupold rimfire scope for it.
The crappy photo does it NO justice!?

Nice! Glad it made you happy. I took the Simmons scope that came on my last 39A off and put it up. The rifle shoots so well without it I didn't figure I needed one. Lot more fun for plinking without the scope IMHO.

Congrats on your new rifle.

I have been searching for a 39A Mountie for quite a while. Any suggestions on finding one? Does anyone have one they want to sell?

Great find. I have been looking for one as an under study for my 336.

I pry'd my wallet open and got a Leupold rimfire VX-1 2-7x28 for it and got it all mounted in some early Weaver rings, don't know who made the base?, it was on the riffle when I got it, now I gotta go shoot it!!!!!:D:cool:
And got better pics of it too!

I walked into one of my favorite dealers and a 39A Mountie was in the used gun rack. 1969, great shape. I snapped it up. It goes with my '63 39A that I got while in high school; my first gun.

Wrenchman: congratulations. The are nice, aren't they? I have a neighbor who has a 39A from 1960 he wants to sell. Anyone interested PM me. Am in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

Sure is a nice 39A. My old smooth stocked 39A is beat up and skinned a bit all over. I do have a newer(2003) model that is still in nice shape. I had to take the scope off it. Just like the lines better unscoped.



Here is the 2003.

Congrats!!! I've had a 39 Cowboy configuration since '77. My dad got it for me when I was 3 and I started shooting it a year or so later. That is the gun I learned to shoot with and respect the condition of and maintaining of firearms...still in 90% condition. At that young age, I learned how to steady myself when shooting freehand...that little rifle still feels heavy....and when you're 5 years old...jeeze! Congrats on the buy!!!

I got my 39A in 2000. Picked it up partly because it was close, in weight & size, to my 45-70 and 336. I find that it likes CCI Mini-Mag or Remington Yellow Jackets. It sprays stingers all over the place. I really like it. Accurate, balance is good, stays pretty clean. Not much else to ask for.
