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. The rifle featured a five-shot box magazine, a "Speedlock" bolt mechanism introduced in 1929 to reduce lock time, and adjustable sights. Over its production run, the Model 52 evolved through several variants—52A to 52E—each incorporating refinements such as improved triggers, stock designs, and bedding systems. Today, collectors, enthusiasts, and precision shooters value the Model 52 rifles for their reliable performance and lasting tribute to American gunmaking excellence.
