Vianni style scope rail for Winchester 52D

[Mustang]

I found a source for Vianni style scope rails for the Winchester 52D's. They are very similar to the Vianni's, but are powder coated rather than anodized. Haven't mounted a scope yet, but it screwed on easy enough.

I put this one on a 52D that I glommed last year...

Got one of those Brian N. Remake mounts and was initially depressed because it didn’t fit properly on W52C. However it did fit my W52D like a glove. No issue. Currently using egw mount on W52C, works ok but not a fan of cantilever design. Might have a machinist buddy create a second mounting point to support the diving board and stiffen everything up. How does your rifle shoot? 0.3 groups and 250 points on IBS rimfire target w/ several x’s? Wow your stock is very well kept, looks great.

I've got one of those cantilever EGW scope mounts on my Winchester 52B. I'm a bit leery of the single point anchoring, but it seems to work OK. The 52D displayed has an actual Vianni rail on it and it works superbly.

Tthis is the B...5 rounds at 50 yards

Good Lord, that center x target kicks ***. The rimfire gods have told me that both my winchesters are eley fans and don't seem to like the grease of Lapua/Sk stuff. Very strange. Can you post some targets of your W52D groups with different ammo? No rush but greatly appreciated.

Here is a 50y TARGET for the 52D with Eley Match and Lapua Center-X



Here is a 100y target for the 52D



Here is a 100y target I shot at a club match with the 52D using Lapua Polar Biathalon.. 10 rounds .945". There was a mild breeze blowing from 9 to 2 o'clock during the match
