I remember in 2001 when some of these rifles were made available through Glen Zanders, a distributor in Baldwin, Illinois. They were Winchester Model 52B's, and they were made in Japan. They are beautiful and well-made rifles. They could be had with glossy or satin finished stocks, and you could choose between sporter or heavy barrel models. They have sling swivel studs that are inletted, the magazines are metal and they don't protrude from the bottom of the gun, they have cut checkering, match chambers, and they are truly high quality rifles. The dealer cost on these rifles was about $599 back then. And they are excellent shooters.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
