The Winchester Model 62 is a slide-action repeating rifle produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in the early 20th century.
The gun replaced the Model 1906. It was a take-down rifle that was able to accept most .22 caliber rimfire cartridges, specifically .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle.{{cn|date=September 2023}}
