So I went to this gunshow today that was at a sportsmans club. It was about a half hour from home. Not long after getting there, I laid eyes on this Winchester 52 pre A model SN 15xxx (1930 production) with a Unertl 16x scope which was later upgraded to 20x by unertl. The guy stated he sent the scope back to Unertl about 30 years ago to have the power increased. The gun is clean, with the factory original rear ladder / peep sight, and it has a lyman globe in the front. The only drawback is that this gun is barrel tapped BUT this will make a great shooter. Its also missing the barrel band. The one the gun included, which was taken off the gun, didn't even fit lol so he must have gotten barrel bands mixed up. After some dickering, I walked out with the gun / scope, an original mag, and a brownells spare all for $900. Pretty good IMO. Here are some pics:
Looks like this Winchester 52 will give my Sako model 78 HB 22lr a run for its money. The Sako wears an older Weaver 20x.
