Gemby58: Good for you on the impressive collection of Model 52's!
I have only owned three of them in my time - wish I had kept them!
I have shot Varmints in the past with an original (an mint condition!) Winchester Model 52 "Sporter"!
Probably should not have done that but my friend that owned it wanted to do something special so we took it on a Ground Squirrel Hunt and relished the experience.
How about the 52 "Sporters", own/shoot any of them?

Yes they get used time to time, heavy barrel 52's get used by the more experienced youth shooters in the club, they use the 52 I got from the DCM back in the 80's, got eight 52 and eight rem 513
