I ran across this 39 at a flea market the other day.Ive wanted to buy one of these for awhile and was too tight to turn loose of the money. I decided they were not getting cheaper and I wasn't getting any younger. You guessed it, I probably paid way too much for it but it's at my house now. I shot this target at our 25 yd sight in range. Never turned a Schwerin on the scope. Think I got a keeper. Here is the rifle and my target. Cliff

Nice one!
I can shoot that close a pattern ..... if I get 6 away from the target!

Yes you do; definitely a keeper.

Nice looking example. What year is it? My Original Golden-39M was made in 1973.

I had one of these as a kid. It had a straight grip though and not the semi-pistol grip stock like all the others I've seen. IIRC it was a Golden Edition also. I wish I had it now.
Nice 22. Enjoy!

Did the 39A come with the grip and 39M without the grip? Is that the main difference, along with the lever being different, obviously?

I just use a pencil and save ammo. I have pencils in several calibers. If I am having a good day I group well, other times I will have some flyers.

The 39M was called a Mountie.
I have a 39a 1984 model

Love the figuring on the buttstock.
