Description

SERIAL NUMBER: 89561C. BARREL: 28". CALIBER: .22LR. MANUFACTURED: 1956. The 1956 Winchester Model 52 represents the absolute pinnacle of mid-century smallbore target rifle design. Often revered as the "King of the .22s," this bolt-action powerhouse is defined by its revolutionary Micro-Motion trigger mechanism, which allows the shooter to independently adjust both pull weight and over-travel down to an incredibly crisp, distinct break. Built on a massive, heat-treated receiver, the rifle features a heavy 28-inch target barrel designed for flawless thermal stability and match-grade accuracy, fed by a reliable 5-round detachable box magazine. The action is cradled in a dense, precision-bedded American walnut target stock equipped with a prominent marksman's comb, an accessory hand-stop rail, and adjustable sling swivels. It also features high-end Redfield aperture peep sights.
CONDITION: Very Good. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The stock has a few light handling marks. Operates normally. C&R 27-185
