I bought two of the Winchester 52B reproductions with consecutive serial numbers about twenty-five years ago from CDNN at good prices. Much of their stuff, back then at least, was closeout material at good prices, so these guns probably weren't real popular when originally marketed.

I put a Unertl scope on one rifle and had a ramp front sight and a Lyman aperture sight installed on the other. Both rifles are very accurate, but no better than a plain early Ruger 77/22 and a Ruger 77/22 laminate/ stainless steel "varmint" rifle (as someone already mentioned). I bought the Rugers before the Winchesters.

Anyone interested in good quality .22s would probably not go wrong with any of these .22s straight-out-of-the-box. I have no idea as to current prices.

I now use only CCI SV in all .22 handguns and rifles because it generally shoots very well in most any .22.
