I've been looking for a good 550-1 for a while, and while not exactly "vintage" I have had great luck with my 552 and 582.
I'm also lucky to own a fine shooting CZ 455 "Lux" (not like the 452 Lux) and a dolled up 10-22 that is the most accurate .22 that I have ever seen.
But I know there are some truly well crafted old .22's out there that id like to experience for myself (yeah, maybe even a 52 someday...)
I just don't know which ones they are, which is why I really appreciate it when people like you share your knowledge.
ps - I'm with you, and I routinely mount some very good glass on my rifles. I think that a small-bell 4-12 with AO is very appropriate for an accurate .22 and if its a target gun I don't see a reason to limit the mag or quality. AO is nearly a must for me & rimfires, but I find that low mag scopes just don't need it for field use.
