Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion - the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me - from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

What a beautiful little rifle. When us older folks say that they don't make em like they used to, we ain't kidding. Except for a few exceptions like the Remington Nylon, everything was wood and steel. I sure wish that everything was made like it used to be.
The oldies are great but I’m a pretty happy camper with light weight AR pattern rifles, they are light short and nimble unlike wood and steel.
@@JordanJimmyDavison What does an AR weigh?
@@JordanJimmyDavison you should think before you type. smh
If it ain't wood and steel, it ain't going in my gun cabinet lol
The model 62A was my first rifle in about 1952. My dad bought it for me so we could go rabbit hunting.
I still have that rifle 70 years later. I also have a model 62 in 95% condition. No only a great rifle but a great memory.
I can't think of a better first rifle at all. It'll help teach you good shooting habits and will keep the bad habits to a minimum. No recoil to cause recoil sensitivity, teaches you to be smooth, operating cost is still the lowest (although it makes me sick to see what 22LR rounds cost now),and just an all-around excellent instructor of shooting mechanics!
At 76, I have a model 62 that my Dad bought for my Mom new when they first came out. Neither shot it much and as their only child...I claimed it. Shot grey diggers in the cherry orchards for 2 cents a tail! That rifle has not a blemish as I cherish it for many reasons. It, also, is rated 95% condition though I shot a ton of 'diggers' with it all through school. When I went to college, I would shoot at the college gun range against the fancy target gun boys and more than held my ground much to their dismay. Fellas took it hard to be beat by a girl with a simple little plinker!!! Thanks for the video!

My Father passed on his Winchester 1906 made in 1913. Maybe my favourite rifle, so much history. Dad used to shoot gophers on the prairies and get a nickel a tail at the General Store
Now you're talking over my cup of tea! This rifle is such a treasure to shoot. When I was young, my summers were spent on my grandfather's vineyard in the San Joaquin valley of California and I used to shoot jackrabbits in his vineyard with this exact rifle. I did this continually and it worked wonders for my offhand shooting. What a great piece of history and John Moses Browning was a genius. Thank you Ron!
Winchester 1890 re-did my great grandfathers so slick with the marble sight. Yep, that fast! And it's a takedown too. Browning sure was a genius!
My dad had the Rossi version of that. It was a great .22 I think I used it more than he did, maybe that's why he bought me my own .22 when I was a kid.😅
I have been shooting a Remington 7600 pump 35 whelen for 20 years love it taken a few moose some black bears and lots of deer
My very first rifle was a 62. Even before a BB or pellet gun. Still squirrel hunt with it every season. It was used when I got it and is well used now.
Thanks Dad.
P.S. I did not know it was a John Browning design.
I bought a 1906 about eight or 10 years ago for $75 dropped it in the sonic cleaner, refinish the stock and reblued . It still one of my favorite guns to shoot almost every day. I wish I could find more of them, but when I do, they’re going for like $800- $900.😮
When my father passed in 2001 his small gun collection was passed down to us 6 children (we're all around in our late fifties now). He collected mostly percussion and flint locks but his first 22 was a model 62a and we got to pick what we wanted from the collection. I took the 22. These were actually used mostly for carnivals popping balloons and shooting targets. The guns were stored in boxes and typically taken apart for transportation . Each part had a separate but same serial number but usually were mixed up upon putting back together. My father's had the same serial number on both pieces
Kind of neat story. Excellent rifle!!
I inherited a model 62 64 years ago. Still shoots great to this day.
You want to sell them
My son inherented his Great Grandfathers 61' model 61.
It's a damn fine gun.
Beautiful firearm. I have a similar Winchester Model 61 with internal hammer and pistol grip stock that dates from 1948. It was my dad's, and the action is also like butter. He topped it with a skinny, Weaver scope that I believe the markings indicate 2.5 power. "They don't make them like that anymore" was never truer.
One day while visiting an older friend,(mid 70's), we got to looking at his firearms. One that really caught my attention, was a mod. 15 Rem. pump .22. When I was done drooling over the rifle, he said that he needed a new belt and offered to trade the rifle for one of the belts I make, I said sold and made him a belt!!
I love people like that. They see you appreciate something that they appreciate, and if they no longer have the need for it, they want it to go to a good home.
I have had a couple of similar experiences in my life. I have definitely passed it forward a few times as well.
Highly recommend getting hold of 2 volume work on vintage 22s. Walnut and Steel by Bill Wald. Fabulous work on classic 22 firearms !!!
I have a Rossi Gallery carbine,not the same quality, but the function and fun are pretty darn close 🤠🥳
I inherited my great grandpa's 1890, those little winchester pumps are fantastic!!
Got mine from my Grand dad. Love it and its as accurate as hell for open sites. Be sure to take it apart always before cleaning. Has a tendency to hide a round. My grandad shot a hole through the floor in the old house.
Winchester 1890 😀😊❤️ I’ve Got 2 Of Them 1906 & 1905 Production John n Matt Browning Designed It 😀😀😀😊
I inherited a ancient Winchester 1906. Very cool rifle and its a takedown model. It's a little rough around the edges but it's about 100 years old and it was used alot at my grandparents cabin in Maine.
My first love is a Remington model 12-C. Pump action with an octagon barrel. It was stolen from my parents house about 25 years ago. I have since replaced it, but instead of being 22lr, it's a 22 Rem Special, same as the 22 WRF (Winchester RimFire). I'm going to get another one in 22lr. Just waiting to find the right one. Love those old pump actions!
I had one of those myself that I inherited from my uncle it was the 22 special and I couldn't find any of them so I hand-fed 22 long rifles in it it had the octagon barrel as well I sold it in 1970 for $25 what a mistake that was
I inherited a model 12-c octagon barrel from my grandpa. I need to clean it up a bit but otherwise it’s in pretty good condition.
I got one of these for my 18th bday! And I love it
I inherited a similar looking rifle from my grandfather years ago. It's an old Interarms model 625A chambered in 22LR and it an absolute blast to shoot.
Nice looking rifle Ron . I enjoy my Remington 760's & 7600 for the Getting back on target fast. When I was a younger man I hunted rabbits with a Semi Auto tube fed Mossberg 151 B . I took a section of plastic tubing that would allow a 22 lr to pass through smoothly I cut one end at a angle the length of the tube held 14 rounds . I called it my Speed Sticks. I used 2 plastic caps from muzzleloader bullets at both ends . Worked smooth as silk. Ron theres a product called Quick fill tubes someone must have seen my Speed Sticks lol.
necessity is the mother of invention alright
I've got the old Rossi version I bought back in the 1990's.
Love it and will never sell or trade it! 🇺🇸👍
I have a m61 made in 1958. Awesome
My Grandpa bought one when he was 12 or so and we still have it to this day. My dad has always talked about the number of animals he took with it and what a great gun it is. We still love taking it to the range
When I was a freshman in high school in 1968 a kid brought his Model 62 to shop class to do a rebluing job on it. Our shop teacher was also the high school principal. He let up bring old guns to shop class to work on.
The ole 62 is a complete treasure! Ron, I'd love to hear your perspective on the also magical Model 61 (with the side ejection and capacity to mount a scope). Those are 2 guns that are just simply treasures, and I'm not surprised that they go for so much now. Thanks for another great video!
I have one. Dad gave it to me for my 10th birthday in 1959. Still runs great and looks as good as yours. It has my grandsons name on it for later. Mine is actually a 1946 model, so it is 3 years older than me. What a fantastic rifle.
When I was a teen a friend would throw a water bottle into the air with a hillside backstop, I'd rapid fire my Browning Trombone in .22L at the bottle typically hitting it multiple times before it hit the ground. It was great practice for hitting running hare. Out of my collection it's probably the last gun I'd sell.
I really got into .22's in late 1970's as an adult. I couldn't afford the Winchester 62 but did find a swell copy. The Rossi 62 SAC carbine. It was almost a carbon copy of the Winchester but lots cheaper. It had exposed hammer with a two pound pull (very freakin' light), 16.5" barrel, captive take down screw, half cock safety and no disconnector so slam firing (like you show) is slick and fast. Mine has a dark (mahogany?) high gloss corncob fore end and butt stock, shoots all short, long, LR fodder INTERCHANGEABLY. Will hold fifteen shorts! Got my Rossi 62 in 1982 for $120 at Karnival Sports in Brooklyn. During the early 1980's I took it (cased of course) on the subway to the West Side shooting range on 20th Street in NYC from my Bay Ridge, Brooklyn digs. Try that today. Truthfully, the old Winchesters are the crème de la crème of pump rimfires but the Rossi's imported by Interarms of Virginia are the next best thing. These rifles just ooze nostalgia, fuhgeddaboudit.
Remington 760
Ron, i have my Dads Model 62a in 22 short. I love it! Dad bought it used about '39.
I bought a Winchester 62 (made in 1947) from my brother last year, it has an aged look but works great and I really like it, plus he only asked 100 dollars for it. 😁👍
Sweet rifle! I inherited a beautiful model 61, made in 1950. They sure don't make them like these anymore. The fit, finish and craftsmanship are outstanding. I wish SOMEONE would make pumps in small centerfire...again. I'm bored with bolt, lever and semi-auto guns.
Dad still has one. Shot many a rabbit in western SD as a kid before the 10/22. I actually preferred this one over the Ruger. Super fast and fun to shoot.
Now that's a beautiful pump action 22lr.
I really like the remington 572
I have model 06 from my uncle. Not in original condition and an old owner shortened the barrel and re-blued it... still the most fun shooter I have!
Those old pumps were amazing. My uncle had a pump with an octagon bàrrel.dont know what brand.i wish I had that rifle. I have way too many 22 to go hunting another but I can't imagine. How many bunnies and deer this rifle took.god bless uncle Henry
Ron, I have had one of those for a long time and it's been awhile since I've shot it. Maybe I'll have to take it out this week and shoot it. All because you made a video with it and I agree it really is a great little gun. It is one of those guns on my never sell list.
Reminds me of my 1949 Remington 141 slide action in 35 Remington. Probably th smoothest slide action I've ever handled...they sure dont make em like that anymore!
Henry makes an octagonal barrel pump action in .22S/L/LR and .22WMR.
They are very nice, particularly for the price. I still like the old stuff better but for modern you can’t beat Henry.
I feel like it’s blasphemy that I don’t own one.
@@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920 Alternative, a Browning BL-22 with the shortest lever throw of any .22 out there.
I have a Winchester 1906 (made in 1914) that was given to our family from an uncle. Taking it out next week. Can't wait for the next range session.
I have a Remington pump action 22 from 1928. Lyman tang peep sight, Ivory inlay for the front sight. Really a fun little gun
My Remington is from 1915, but it has feeding problems and jams if I don't hold it just right.
@@nathanadrian7797 she’s an old girl, makes sense you’d have to hold her just right 😁🇺🇸.
Edit: If she is in good condition, maybe she’s worthy of a trip to an old gunsmith. I paid too much to get a single shot falling block 22 all fixed up, it was worth it in the end😃
@@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920 She is in reasonable condition, but I think the feeding issues are a design flaw, this model was only made for 1 or 2 years. I use it for killing hogs, skunks and ravens, and one coyote, she still shoots straight!
I have a remington model 12 it was my grandpas. He sold it to our neighbor. I never thought I would ever see it again till my son inlaw bought it for me from our old neighbors grandson. It still shoots the way I remember when I was a kid. Now, my grandkids will learn to shoot with it.
We grew up shooting the remington 572 field master puml action 22. It was the rifle my dad used to put cows down at our dairy farm. I love that rifle.
Great review, but how about the Remington Model 12? I believe it was also a Browning design that didn't block the sight picture when cycling.
That is the gun I first learned to shoot, in around 1957 it was my dads' rifle for shooting pests on the farm. I used it until I left home at age 18 [1968] . Two years ago I got it back from my older brother shortly before his death. The gun is still in great condition and deadly accurate
I will never forget the great memories and plan on handing it down to my Oldest grandson.
I have the 62A that was my uncle's when he & my father were teenagers. Both of them are gone now.
It was the first rifle I ever shot. It's still just as fun for 50-year-old me as it was 10-year-old me.
It’s awesome. I got an 1886 colt lightning in 22 for Christmas.
Looks to be in beautiful condition ! A real score .
I learned to shoot on one of these babies. It was originally my great grandfather's. He gave it to my dad who always told me it would one day be mine. When my dad left my mom and I, I asked for it. I was 12 and he was deep in addiction at the time. He refused, saying it was his and that he could do what he wanted with it. When Dad died, I mentioned getting another one to my uncle and just pretend it was the original. My uncle revealed that dad had pawned it. The shop owner knew my uncle, so when Dad didn't return to pay the guy, then the owner called my uncle. My uncle paid the debt off for the gun and took it home. He hid it until dad died. He was afraid of how my dad would react if Dad knew. My uncle went so far as to list in his Will where the gun was and it was to be given to me once my dad passed away, just in case Dad outlived him. It's kind of a circuitous route, but I got my great grandfather's 62a. It won't ever be sold as a result, and it stays in my bedroom. I look forward to one day teaching my own children to shoot with it.
I bought one and it’s my favorite 22 S,Long and LR!
Slide actions are my favorites in any caliber in long guns
Great showcase of an incredible firearm
Tried to find a Model 61 for a long time, bid on a few. Ended up getting a Remington model 12 instead because my father found one at the Tulsa gun show for under $300. The Winchesters just got too pricey and I just wanted one to shoot for fun. And it IS a lot of fun to shoot.
I got one of those to. Great for ground squirrel hunting.
During WW2, my grandfather was given one by the trucking company he worked for as an incentive reward. We still have it. 😊
Nifty, Ron. My grandfather had a rifle like this on. I fired it often on our farm.
I have a 1906 made in 1917 lovely little rifle in excellent condition.
A historical feature of these rifles is their gallery gun days. These were very popular for use in state fairs, the breakdown ability and low cost would mismatch barrels from receivers as they packed up onto the next location. Those were the days when several hundred people would shoot in the midway attraction with no threat of mass shooting. Guns don't kill people, mental ill people do.
Thanks Ron, for sharing your memories, especially about shootin' "jacks"!! It's pretty hard to beat those old take down pumps! I cut my teeth on a Savage 29A!!
Ron!! What the hell? This was a very interesting and enjoyable video. It is quite a departure from your normal creating a non existing issue and explore the pros and cons of different calibers to help manufacturers market their wares to a softened public. I hope you do more videos like this.
Rossi made a knock-off about 25 years ago. Their nicked version was sweet.
Nice!!!! :) :) This episode made me smile a lot! :)
I just lucked out finding a Winchester M70 458 win mag it was a safe queen never was really used or shot, amazing high quality rifle perfect condition , I lucked out finding it, I was at the right place at the right time, sometimes the rifle chooses you.
Back in the day (50’s 60’s 70’s) I’d go to every fair just for the shooting gallery. Gita love the pump action 22’s
My granddad called his his Mexican Machinegun. Dad saw him cut a snake swimming across a stream into three pieces. My brother has it in his gunsafe as a treasured family heirlomb.
I have 2 of them. My dad bought one at a pawn shop for $10 before WWII. I bought my second one for $325 at a gun show in Ft. Smith about 5 years ago. And I have a pump Remington 10 hammerless - gave $425 for it.
Ron, my rifle looks exactly like yours, but it is a Rossi made by Garcia. My dad gave it to me for Christmas in 1972. I would load a mixture of longs, shorts, and long rifles into the tube, to make it a bit is a surprise when I pulled the trigger. My favorite squirrel gun, and it still looks brand new today.
I love that rifle too!!!
I grew up shooting a lever 22, pump 22, bolt 22, straight pull 22 and semi-auto 22
I love them all
I was in the market for a 1906, ended up picking up a 62a, and don’t regret it one bit. It’s just fun!
I have two Ron and one has a Marlin barrel on it...still haven't figured that one out yet but it shoots just as well as the one with the Winchester barrel.
Man don't let the anti's see that fast action video! They'll ban them, gather the up and melt them down for use in electric cars. Always enjoy your informative videos. Thanks for sharing.
I’d love to have a pump-action .22 rifle. I think I’ll make that my next gun purchase. Thanks, Ron. 👍🏼
If you didn't know Rossi makes a fun lil pump. It's not as pretty but just as fun.
@@jhuntnfish6872 I handled a Henry pump .22 at a charity gun raffle back in March and was quite impressed. I own a Henry lever action .44 Remington Magnum that I’ve used for deer hunting that I really like. If I have a gun dealer in the area that carries Rossi I’ll take a look at them too.
The older Winchester pumps are an absolute joy to go out and plink with. Ive got a 1907 made Winchester 1906. Its chambered in 22 short exclusively and I love it.
The first rifle I ever shot was a model 06 owned by my Grandfather when I was 9 yo. I still have it and I'm now 64 and it still shoots well.
Ron when I see these, I always think of the old shooting galleries before the air rifles with the star target. Watching the slow-motion video at 4:24 it appears that you are slam firing the rifle like the pump action trench guns of WWII.
🎉i have a very old Rossi, takedown model. It can do the slam fire thing . Not a Winchester but very well made, nice in walnut and blue, functionally reliable and lots of fun to shoot.
Awesome 👍🏼
Held on to one of these variants for a family member once in my youth. I've been desiring one of my own ever since.
The Rossi version is excellent
The 1890, 1906 and 62A all had the basic actions and tubular feed. The 1890 had a Cresent butt stock and was offered with an octagon barrel. The 1906 came with a standard shotgun style butt stock, smaller pump handle and shorter barrel. Was also know as the Gallery Gun as it was used in shooting galleries. The 62A had a 23" round barrel and a larger beaver tail forearm. Cool thing was the 1890 Crescent Butt stock would fit on the 62A, which looked really cool.
I owned a 62A and loved it, also got to shoot my brother-in-laws 1906 and had a friend who had a 1890, so I was fortunate to have actually handled all three.
Absolutely love that old Browning pump action 22, awesome video
I have a 62 a and a 1906 both still shoot great. Love the video.
I got the Rossi remake and it’s prolly from the 80’s they are so much fun!
love those old pumps! I do not have a model 62, but I do have a Remington M121 and a Winchester model 61, both really nice rifles! One day when I happen upon a 62 in nice shape at a fair price, I will add one to the collection.
Have one from my grandpa, he purchased in 1952. Great shooter
Couldn’t wait to shoot those Winchester model 62’s at the state fair in the mid-late sixties. Great rifles and great memories!
My grandfather had one, and was such a neat and reliable time firing that.
I have a Rossi made just like the model 62 love that rifle mine has a octagon barrel
Remington had a 16 shot pump that I learned to shoot with, it was beautiful!
Got a Browning Trombone gifted by my grandfather which is my favorite rifle.
Ron, I have a Savage 22 Pump, Model 1909 magazine fed. Very similar. A real gem.
The 1st gun I ever shot was my Dad's pre-war Winchester 62a. I remember saving my money to buy a box of shorts for it. There where 40 cents back then in the 60's.
I loved mine my favorite snowshoe gun . Parting with it was one of my greatest mistakes .
The Remington 121 is the finest rimfire pump ever made!
Used my grandmothers model 62 as a kid. Why I now have a rossi gallery.
love this iam 81 and live in Idaho on a olbbbd farm and have 4 0f them all have a oct. barrel thanks
Awesome
Ive got the rossi copy of it. Mines the 62sac carbine version and yes it slam fires 🤣 handed down to me by my grandfather and ive carried it on several hunts over the years
