Man I have to comment again! These older gun and scope CRAFTSMAN are as good or better than what's available now...even if you buy some crazy priced gear! I'm proud to be old school like you man!

You have a beautiful 52C there. Amazingly I just inherited a 56 model year 52C with a 25X lymen super target spot. Can’t wait to try her out.

Great video Mr. RG! The scope looks wonderful, the engineered function would be a joy to use. I love seeing the 52C get this much love and attention from you 😁. I'll second 'Walnutand Steel's suggestion for a vintage only challenge 👍. Lets someone come up with a 💥 idea and put these magnificent rifles to the test!

Thanks for showing the repeatability of this unit's sighting system. I have a Litschert 12× Targeteer Sr on my 1927 Model 52. It works great but modern glass without modifying my rifle or changing its appearance is very appealing. Happy New Year, sir.

Glad to see you finally put a scope on that 52-c. It shot lights out for me with a Weaver T-36 on it..

You were having too much fun!! The Model 52C was made from mid-1951 until production ceased in 1962. Total production was less than 30,000.

I have the 8x Unertl clone from hilux. I could have easily bought a real one but I didn't want "The burden of stewardship". It's a very nice scope.

I have that same scope on a 52D CMP and love the combination. There's something very satisfying about shooting great groups with these vintage rifles. I really like the external adjustments of the scope.
@xlasvegan7x6 ай бұрын
Very nice setup. I once owned a 52D like yours but with a heavier barrel. It was set up with a Unertl 14x. It shot well to the point where we would pick flies off at 50 yds. I have to agree that your clarity is better and field of view is superior. I still love my Unertl it now sits on an Anschutz 1413 which I take to the range once in ahwile.
@Dayattherange6 ай бұрын
You once owned please tell me you didn't depart ways with it. Also this is the heavier barrel so we may have had the same thing.

1st off, Semper Fi to a fellow, former Marine. I love seeing you give the love to the heyday .22 rifles. Never worry about how long your videos are, love watching you really give the ladies a good work out. Love your setup and how you film and do things. Hi Lux is really working on making sure their scopes are good scopes to use. They are the main manufacturer for vintage scopes that a lot of shooters are using for the CMP and NRA Vintage sniper rifle matches. Keep up the great work.

Oh man that's a sweet set up! I just recently bought an original Win 52 with the barrel band. I want one of the Hi Lux scopes as well. I also have a very accurate Remington 513T similar to your 52C. Love your videos bro!

Maybe when we see the new barrels, and more modern ways of producing so called better equipment , perhaps sometimes its more of a sales incentives , as we see some of the older guns producing excellent shooting ability. Thanks for this video for sure.

I want Hi Lux to exceed but regret to say they have gone in a different direction. I have 2 of their ART scopes and 2 of their regular scopes. These are made in China and they don't even maintain the same quality from one scope to the next.

I'm not sure what it is but that rifle/ammo combo is not working. A 52C should have no problem shooting better groups than that. I have a mint condition 52C that prints bug holes any day of the week with mid price ammo SK Rifle etc. The vintage scopes are seeing a revolution of sorts lately. The glass on the newer repo models doesn't quite keep up with many older originals. The marketplace for an clean original with bases will set you back as much as the rifle if not more easy.
