Several years ago I saw a Winchester 52 Custom that was sold by the big auction house in Maine... AAA wood, 22" barrel with banded front sight and an express rear...along with a Leupold 4X Rimfire scope in QD mounts I believe...just beautiful. Went for the $4K area as I recall...
I've owned four 52s and think they are the finest .22 rimfire action ever made. Just make sure if you use a 52 to have the smith bend the bolt for scope use. Ontherwise you will end up having to use high rings like on the repos...

My Winchester repro was NOT a great shooter with any of several bullets that worked fine in all my other rifles. Maybe I did not find the one.

I believe that Kreiger makes barrels in 52 Sporter profiles, both original and repro. As regards the suggestion on using CZ or BRNO barreled actions, I have had a BRNO sporter and I believe that would be a good choice that would not be as costly as a Win 52.

Have you considered a Rem 40x.
