Weekend Photos: 1960’s Bronco .22 LR Survival Rifle

    The Bronco is a .22 LR survival rifle made during the late 1960s and 1970s. They were marketed with the slogan “without frills”, which was, if anything, an understatement. The Bronco was essentially a copy of the Hamilton Model 7 which was made form 1889 to 1901. For most of its life the Bronco retailed for less than $20.
