My (new? old?) Rifle

Postby specter177 » Tue Jun 15, 2010 9:40 pm

I've actually had this Winchester 52C for a little while now (given to me by my grandfather, who I think bought it new), but finally got a sight for it that had been missing. Still looks and shoots pretty good for being almost 60 years old. Has a wonderfully short trigger pull.

Sure is purdy.

Some of those old rifles do shoot rather nice. And she short trigger is always wonderful. 2 of my guns have Hair triggers and I love them.
