Was that ad from the late 1950s (a guess based on the clothing in the illustration)? (I'm just trying to grasp how cheap a $13.85 really was.) It is was late 1950s, that'd be about $125 today...that's a really cheap rifle. (Some googling around--I found catalogs showing Winchester .22s for sale in 1955 for $125 or so...) So I'm guessing "fabulously accurate" might be a stretch.
