I never joined the Corps but, I'll never forget the ten days I spent at Camp Pendleton way back in 1965 . The sound of corporal Boyd counting cadence, as he marched us from the mess hall was beautiful. Some fine shooting with those two old dog rifles !

Loved the video! This is the first time I came across your channel. Also love my Win 52s. Have an 1936 original, a 52C and a 52D. 52C has a Shilen stainless match barrel and 32x Bushnell. Heaviest rifle I own! My brother and I were shooting wasps and bees at 100 yards. Everyone told us we were lying!

Love those old dogs going at it. Mr. Winchester took this round I do believe. As always, thank you for bringing us along and congrats onn 12K subs!!

Love your videos, haven’t seen ya in a while. Thanks for serving our great country btw!

I love your fifth round reaction. They say, it is impossible to shoot and pat yourself on the back at the same time. When the first four are tight, the real skills come out.

Awesome video. Love the enthusiasm 👍👍👍. Thanks.

Thanks for a great video and memories of shooting a 52 back in the day of black and white tube tv. U rock Marine !

Two classics laying them in there pretty good, love it, and like you said there is not too many things more enjoyable than a good firearm and a brick of ammo at the range. Al

These are the best rifle/ammo shootouts !

It was fun to watch your video. I have a Winchester Model 75 Target with Olympic sights. It has a 5 round magazine, but can be shot single, one at a time. Made in 1942. It likes Eley the most, followed by Winchester Target T22 in the silver box almost as well. It's less expensive than Eley, but the Winchester ammo's been discontinued. I love those tiny groups the 75 makes. Just line the two circles up. The only time you miss is when you sneeze! P.S. Thanks for the info on the Kimber being a "training" rifle, as opposed to a "target" rifle. I learned something new!

I'm up for it too. Great video, thanks.

Nice to see you taking the accuracy more seriously, the bubble level is crucial for serious shooting just like the new base plate.

First time viewing. Will be joining and looking forward to seeing more.

I just got my new to me Benchrest rifle. Uses a Remington XBR bolt made in 68' in a custom action and barrel. Just because our rifles are old doesn't mean they cannot shoot. Good shooting. God Bless

Great video! I'd love to see a comparison shoot off between the Kimber 82G and the H&R M12. Both rifles were used at US Military trainers in the same era.

Hey Big Guy Congratulations on passing 12k , it’s all your hard work , knowledge and experience that got you there , remember without you and your awesome content and your happy easygoing personality there wouldn’t be any subscribers , I love and look forward to to every video that you put together , I’m looking forward to congratulating 20k Subs it won’t take long y’all on fire Mate , Aussie Steve .

I happen to stumble across your video tonight, great video fun to watch thanks for taking the time to do it. I just bought a absolutely beautiful model 52 deluxe Target today. So I'm pretty psyched to get the rifle to the range it has the original Lyman Junior super Target spot sitting on top.

First time watching your channel, yes, it was entertaining and I will subscribe, I myself have a Winchester model 52 that was made in 1931 that is my baby, one of the first few that they made

This is the first time I’ve seen a video of yours, it was wonderful. Keep it up. Lee Gibbs

Thanks for your great videos and your great attitude. At 71 I am new to shooting and new to u-tubing, would love to join you at the range but I think it's a ways from Spokane WA. Enjoy shooting your Hostage target and the KYL dots. Keep it up. US Navy 19770-76.

Gidday - Hey congrats on the 12K - deserved! Your channel has really inspired me and I recently completed a challenge I'd been trying for since 2015 - shoot 5 groups of 5 shots at 50 yards with ALL groups under 0.5". My range is 47M (51.3 yards) and my average for the 5 groups was 0.293 - this with a Lithgow LA101, Sightron S111 3.5-10 on top, and Eley Match ammo. The challenge has learnt me heaps about rifles (at least 5 of them before the Lithgow), ammo, and shooting technique. So now I'm going to move onto some of your challenges! One thing that I noticed about your shooting in this video - you "walked" the Kimber's groups round the bull. If you didn't make any off camera scope adjustments this may indicate your hold has some small inconsistencies. I often do this - it takes a lot to eliminate! Maybe you have some tension in your right hand? All the best!

Just found your channel. Lots of fun!

The Winchester model 52 is like a sore pecker it’s hard to beat lol! But seriously they are amazing rifles! Btw great videos I’m subscribed!

Hey Brother. Great shoot-out. I have a Winchester 1937 52 A heavy barrel. Shoots just like yours...OORAH SEMPER FI fellow Marine.

Fun to watch the ole boys going at it

O how much I love those small groups, get me so excited

Hard to beat any Win. 52.My Anschutz shoots better than I can shoot. I have once and only once shot a perfect score of 250 with my Anshutz 1710 and on top of it, it is in the sporter class. Love your videos!

I shot the model 52 in JNRA. Qualified Distinguished Expert at 13years old. Joined the Corps a few years later.

Great ideos!thank you

Great shooting you Old Marine! Ooorah from an Army Guy! Fired the 52D back in my High School ROTC rifle team days.

You are the GOAT

I learned to shoot on one of those kimbers equipped with diopter sights... throw back

Nice shooting with them old dogs I have a H&R m12 that shoots real nice

That is some shooting right there!! Might want to write down the lot number of that Tenex!!!

Subbed! SEMPER FI BRO!

SIR JUST FOUND YOU GREAT SHOOTING GOD BLESS

Devil the 82 was never intended as a match rifle. The fact it shoots as goof as it does is a tribute to old Kimber's manufacturing and your shooting skills. I have a 82G with apertures and it shoots incredibly well considering its not a match grade rifle so dont come down too hard on yours. It is shooting above its class for damned sure. Semper Fi brother.

Just subbed good shooting I bought a 82 kimber sporter it’s a shooter I like mine zeroed at top of red either rifle is a shooter makes them old squirel heads roll

Awesome vedio 🇿🇦

Nice shootin Tex! Man I love those rifles! Been working on Momma's gun, another 10/22 and it's shooting good. Have to do the challenge with hers. Might even let her have a go at it! Hahaha

Always good shooting.

Congratulations on the 12 k it’s easy to see why. You’ve inspired me to get on the paper. Awaiting the new LA101 to show up. Have trigger spring and bolt shims ready to install. Any tips on a scope ? Cheers from OZ 🇦🇺

Nice pair!

How many ounces pull is that trigger? Nice , real nice.

This old Air Force vet is ready to take on your challenge Gunny! Where do I go and bring both my competition 22s? Where is that damn ol' rabbit hole?

whats the lot number of that 10X ?

Just a thought....why not group away from bullseye...so red dot will not be distorted from bullet holes.....leaving aiming point undisturbed...

There's a kimber 82 at my local gun shop ,he wants a 1000 for it, that's a lot for 22, I pick it up every time I'm in there,just can't pull the trigger on it.

CONGRATULATIONS ,I still shoot my Winchester 52 B @ 100 and 200 yds.@ Hopkinton sportsman's Club. I use CCI and Eely standard velocity standard bench rest.Also shoot Springfield 03 and a Ruger 25-06 both cast bullet hand loads ,

Nice shooting Marine You should pair the Kimber 82G, Winchester 52D against the H&R M12 .

Neither rifle should hang their heads. Great shooting, Gunny. 👍🇺🇸 I'm thinking we should call you Mr. 22LR Guy? 😂🤣

Where is your range located😂

Enjoying the challenge series! Looking to put modern optics on my 52B. Can you tell me what mounts you are using on your 52d? Thanks!

Let's not forget the Remington 40X rimfire. The ones I have are great shooters as well. Mike Walker knew a thing or two about target rifles.

Nice.

Wowsers, once that W heats up :)

what is that rig you are shooting off. I need something like that.

Do a comparison with these 2 vs your CZ. ;-) On a good day.

Kimber best rifle I ever had

Was wondering if you were using any wind flags? Noticed the trees behind you, looks like the wind picked up with the Kimber? Whatever, fun time, thanks.

I have a 52D and where did you get that stock? That is sweet and I'd love to get one.

Id like to put up my CZ453 bull barrel, set trigger, in .22 lr

That Winchester is a awesome rifle. Try some wolf match extra

Leftie Rightie Hayyyy Doooo! Left Right.

I LIKE THEN WAY YOU THINK MR. REVOLVER GUY.

DATR, a pretty good showing from the 52D it shows the old bull still has it, I don't think you treated the 82G the same !! feed the five then talk ........... just my 2 cents

I want another rematch

My baby is a Winchester 52 E , International Match with a Karl Kenyon trigger ( 6 oz.) topped with a Lyman Super spot 20 power. It shoots real well , but I can’t afford that 10 x ammo so it might shoot even better!!…..don’t know.

I consider cold weather training 10-below

The 82g will shoot much better than that. I can personally attest to this. I don't have much range time with the 52d. I feel the barrels are too light for my personal preference. I'm really surprised both guns didn't shoot bettet at that distance with tenex. Still a great video though

cant go to the range at the moment, requires double vaccination before i can go lol. only have my first so far

With all due respect to the Kimber, the Win 52D is the king of them all. You should compare it with the Rem 40X.

nice - but a little less gab would go a long ways

TWO CLICKS = ONE CLICK......😮 LMAO

It was 'bug'hole' day.

I came close a few years back getting getting a Kimber 82. Kick in the sack for not getting it.

Old dogs can still fight.

Mine has a cone breach. Feeds fairly easy

Yo Marine I own a H&R M12 I really would like to see the challenge against the kimber 82G, Winchester 52D & my H&R M12 in a Head to Head shoot out Send me your email and we can discuss shipping arrangements, I’ll ship you my H&R M12 for the challenge Alfie

I’m gonna bring Trump, is it okay?

To much talk and only ok groups .

We are not interested in watching you shoot !!!

Many that shoot NRA prone, especially those shooting Anschutz rifles will take several shots on the berm before even shooting their sighter targets. Lubes up the bore and warms it to operating temps. My Winchester 52D shoots the first 2 shots a bit low, and by the 3rd shot it is ready to go.

I LIKE THEN WAY YOU THINK MR. REVOLVER GUY.
