[QUOTE="db-2, post: 295966, member: 4743"] My dad did like guns and when he passed still had some and I did inherit a handful or two including two Winchester 22 target rifles, a model 75 and model 52. As a lad I did a lot of hunting with the 75 sitting up in the pasture and seeing if I could hit a gopher or mud hen at a bunch of yards. Took the Juntertl scope off the 75 and put on the model 52. Was told in its day the 52 was one of the more accurate rifles on the market. Single shot. Back in time, once the 22 ammo got cheaper, I said never again and would buy a box on sale when we when to the city. So I have a bunch of different brands and sat out today to see if there was a different in brands with the 52 at 26 big steps, five shots over the engine hood of the vehicle. Not much for target shooting and in basic training I sat in a fox hole, raining for over an hour to get three shots from a m-14 under the size of a nickle. So: Afterwards I found out one is not to shoot stingers in the gun as they will damage the gun (I did not know the case is longer in a stinger). Is that right? 15 shells and I guess that ends that. The Federal match ammo in the lower left and lower right corner I felt shot the best group. I bought a brick of Aguila not knowing what they were. Had 8 shells so shot all and I was please with the group in the top left. Stingers shot good and the rest not as good but I will assume that is more me that the shells. So if I am going to show off the model 52(the gun is better than I am) I need to practice, get a bench rest and then practice some more and at 50 yards have all holes touching. More match ammo. Scope would sometimes be fuzz at the target and sometimes I would see two crosshairs but again I am sure that is me. If I am going to shoot an old gun it will be with an old scope. [/QUOTE]
