Default New to me Winchester 52D

I shoot in a weekly .22 match at a local range. It alternates 50 and 100 yards each week. Right now, I alternate using a Remington 40X and a Winchester 52D on the weeks that we shoot 100 yards. Both do pretty well at that distance.

I'm trying to entice my oldest son to join the match with me and I recently glommed another Winchester 52D for him as an incentive...

I got my start in smallbore competition by using a club owned Winchester 52 and then I bought one for myself. Both of those rifles were tac drivers. I switched to Anschutz rifles, but have great memories of my Winchester 52.

Where are you shooting the competition that you mentioned?

Thanks, Steve

Yep, I've got several Redfields...Palma, International, and Olympic. But the match we shoot is off a Bench, so I'll be mounting a scope on this one, at least at first. I've got a Sightron SII 36x42 not currently employed that I'm planning on using.

My current 52D has a B&L 6-24 on it, mounted on a Ken Vianni rail. I've also got a 52B set up for the 50 yard matches.

I'm always on the look out for a good deal on an Annie, but no luck so far. Both Winchesters shoot better than I can, so the Annie might not help my scores much.

We shoot the matches at Lincoln, CA

Those Ken Vianni rails are nice, have one for the 52 and H&R Mod 12. Sent 2 of my 52 triggers to Karl Kenyon for his trigger job. Those turned out excellent.

I shoot a 40X at our little clubs ARA rimfire benchrest matches. I have a Weaver T-36 and a Jewell trigger on it. A Harrell tuner, too.

Those Win 52Ds are good shooters.

I think I have another Vianni rail for the 52D around somewhere. If not I'll have to use one of the EGW single point rails, like on my 52B.

I've heard the 52D triggers aren't bad (although certainly not as good as a Kenyon). My 52B has a Canjar trigger, which is supposed to be good.

Sweet 40-X, Hunter. How does it shoot?

I've got one with a 36X B&L, a Timney trigger and an Ezell tuner. I alternate that one with my 52D at the 100 yard matches. They seem to shoot pretty close to the same.


Winchester 52D...10 rounds @ 100y....945"


Remington 40X...

Your rifles are nice, and I’m digging that Kerr sling too

The cooling off period on my new Win52D expired and I picked it and my new Ljungman up.

I checked the bolt and it is EP'd with a matching number to the serial number. Metal and stock are in excellent condition.









Is EP'ing the bolt a US property only mark?

I think you should just sell it to me.

Not planning on selling it, but if I can't entice my son into shooting it at the match, I'll keep you in mind
