Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 52 stands as a legendary fixture in the world of precision rimfire shooting, widely regarded as one of the finest smallbore target rifles ever produced. Introduced in 1920 and affectionately dubbed the "King of the .22s," the Model 52 was the first commercially produced .22 rifle built specifically for accuracy, not as a sporting or hunting gun, but as a true competition-grade firearm. This particular example features a 28-inch blued barrel and a smooth hardwood target-style stock, optimized for stability in prone and benchrest shooting disciplines. The stock’s design promotes a natural, consistent cheek weld and excellent balance, while the rifle’s weight and long barrel contribute to a steady, controlled shooting experience. This configuration comes without factory sights but includes mounts for target sights, allowing shooters to equip the rifle with their preferred high-precision apertures or optics, depending on their discipline. The bolt-action system of the Model 52 is renowned for its silky-smooth operation and rock-solid lock-up—traits that have made it a favorite among competitive marksmen for generations. The rifle’s meticulous craftsmanship, paired with decades of engineering refinement, helped it dominate the smallbore match scene in the mid-20th century. While it was eventually supplanted by lighter, more modern European rifles like those from Anschütz, the Model 52 remains deeply respected by collectors and target shooters. Its historical legacy, mechanical excellence, and sheer shooting pleasure have ensured the Model 52’s place in firearms history as a masterpiece of American gunmaking.
