Old Iron, Winchester 52

[Guy Miner]

I don't have any fancy new rimfires, just an old Marlin and an old Winchester. I shoot both of those rifles quite a bit. Had the Winchester out today. Snowy day at the range. Thought I'd share some photos of the old rifle. Grandpa & Dad competed with the Winchester, I just use it for target practice.

Put about 100 rounds through it today; prone, sitting and standing. All at 50 yards. Snowing too hard for the longer ranges. The old 20x Lyman is still pretty sharp.

Regards, Guy

That is one NEAT looking old rifle and scope. It doesn't even look like it's been scratched or abused...... WOW :shock:

Guy, is that the 52c ? , i noticed that it has a clip. I know some gentleman that still compete with the 52's. I had a 52d at one time that was a single shot that was extremely accurate.

Nice rifle! No wonder you have so much fun at the range! Never even looked through a scope like that. CL

We shot the Winchester 52's when I was on the University Rifle Team. I've had one on my wish list ever since. They are great rifles.
