I have two 52's also, one is a 52B Sporter and the other is a pre A that has been made into a "Sporter" by checkering the stock, shortening the barrel to 22" and adding an ebony forend tip. The pre A is my favorite 52, I will be adding a Lyman Alaskan scope using the scope block holes in the barrel and tapping the dovetailed part of the 48J receiver sight.
