bought a 63 today, very pleased with what i got. serial number 115787a dob appears to be 1953. it is drilled and tapped for a scope mount on the left side of the receiver, two holes that are one and five eights inches apart and on a line with the two factory screws in the receive. was this a common mount location and would it be possible to find one today, if so what am i looking for?

thanks all

  Good evening, I am new on the forum. I purchased this engraved winchester 63. I am trying to find out who engraved this gun? This gun was made in 1958, if that helps any. It is beautiful and i would like to learn more about it.. Thank You, Steve

  You are probably looking for a Weaver side mount. Go to Brownell's catalog and you should be able to match your holes to one of them.

  Or just take it by any well equipped gun shop that carries mounts and rings and match it up there. -Asa

  I think you will be happy. I think the 63 is one of the finest 22 I have owned, for accuracy and reliability.
