My M52's weren't of the caliber of that one. Nice snag. I too cut my adolescent target shooting teeth with a 52- a slow lock with factory sights. My current faves are an A and a Pre-A speed lock with scope blocks (and a Fecker that rotates between them), but a 52B is needed to round things out. An elderly buddy who is an ex-.22 benchrest shooter informs me that his 52D heavy barrel w/36x Leupold is coming my way- but I'd rather have him with me at the range than his gun in my hands. Martini's are cool, and Springfield M2's are my all-time favorites, but when it comes down to pure accuracy give me a 52 and a fistful of Eley Tenex any day.
