Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 52, introduced in 1920, is a renowned bolt-action .22 caliber rifle celebrated for its exceptional accuracy and craftsmanship. Originally developed to meet the U.S. Army's need for a smallbore training rifle, it quickly gained popularity among civilian target shooters. These Winchester Rimfire rifles featured a five-shot box magazine, a "Speedlock" bolt mechanism, which was introduced in 1929 to reduce lock time, and adjustable sights. Throughout its production run, the Model 52 evolved into several variants, numbered 52A to 52E, each incorporating refinements such as improved triggers, stock designs, and bedding systems. Production of the Model 52 concluded in 1980, with over 125,000 units manufactured. Despite its discontinuation, the Model 52 remains a highly regarded rifle among collectors and vintage marksmen for its enduring accuracy and historical significance.
Please note: this rifle will not ship with a magazine.
