There’s something about them, mechanically, and with the feel of holding something substantially made that appealed to me.
My Kimber Hunter and Browning A-Bolt lock up nicely and feel solid. But not in the same way the mod 52 does.
I do like my A-Bolt an awful lot. I think both Sockpuppet and JackMountain may still have one for sale. Both were in mint condition.
