That would be the one on the SSAA gun sale site..???

If it is grab it, they work well, built well, and will last a life time. That one is VERY cheap, and if I had a use for it I wouldn't hesitate. The 63a was one of the last built here in Australia by Sportco Industry's before the went over to Olin in the late 70's. should be a heap of info about it and them on Dr Google.

Good luck

I have one and they are definitely the pick of the sportcos. I might grab this one if it sits there for long.

Hey Deano....Not sure if that $180.00 rifle is a 63A - Stock looks different ....The $500.00 one is the genuine article.

https://ssaagunsales.com/listing/12970....S.N. AF438 sounds right.
I'm quite sure I wouldn't sell my 63A for two hundred bucks :D

Just saw this forum after looking for some other 63A info. Brilliant rifle, assuming it's in good condition - grab it.

With CCI Standard ammo, I recently punched out a 13mm 5-shot group at 50y and a 15mm group.
It was my father's before he passed and I learnt to shoot on it, and I can only estimate the thousands of rounds put through it over 40-50 years.
