New Winchester 52D

Post by CalFed »

I thought I had satisfied my itch for .22 target rifles for a bit, but like a true addict, when I fall off the wagon, I really fall. Ended up glomming a Winchester 52D.
Here are the auction pics:

The description advised that it comes with Redfield Olympic sights and has "U.S." electro-penciled on the left side of the receiver, above the serial number, which is in the 109xxx range.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Yeah you fell hard.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

That looks like a serious target rifle. Very good purchase I would say.

My Winchester 52D arrived at my FFL and I got a chance to look it over. The rifle looks barely used. Metal and bluing is almost pristine and although the stock has a few dings and dents, it is also in extremely good shape.
