The rifle is housed in a classic one-piece walnut pistol grip stock, showcasing smooth contours and a refined, functional aesthetic typical of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The solid wood construction offers excellent stability and ergonomics, making it suitable for both prone and benchrest shooting disciplines. Although production of the Model 52 ceased in the 1980s due to rising costs and the emergence of high-end European competitors, the rifle remains a revered collector’s item and a treasured piece among precision shooting enthusiasts. This 1930 example stands as a testament to Winchester's legacy in competitive rimfire accuracy and American firearms engineering.
