Winchester Model 52

The Winchester Model 52 is a bolt-action .22-caliber target rifle introduced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company of the United States in 1920, designed by T.C. Johnson, Frank Burton and A.F. Laudensack. For decades it was the premier smallbore match rifle in the United States and was later ranked among the fifty best guns ever made by Field & Stream magazine. By the 1970s its World War I-era design had been outpaced by newer match rifles from Walther and Anschutz, and production of the costly Model 52 ended in 1980 when US Repeating Arms took over manufacture of Winchester firearms from Olin Corporation.
