Without question, these two Model 52 rimfires are my favorite 22 LR by a long mile.

Even though both come from the Miroku Firearms Factory and not a true Americana Pre 64, Model 52 Sporter. They’re fairly close, imo.

I enjoy shooting and hunting with them over other 22 LR’s that I have. They’re both accurate, not as accurate as my Kimber Silhouette Hunter, but they just feel really good in my hand and shoot well enough to not be stored in the safe forevermore.

Top is the standard Sporter model. The bottom is a heavy barrel, that was a limited run for Zander Sporting Goods.

If you got a Model 52 Sporter, let’s see em.
