I have one of the earliest Winchester versions. Kind of plain wooded, but carries a Leupold 3X9 compact EFR using Talley bases and rings. I collect high end rimfires, mainly Kimber of Oregon, but have a few others like Cooper, Anschutz and original Winchesters, all of which I have shot, some a bunch. Mine is an absolute tack driver. If I had to sell all of my .22 rimfires, which is a bunch of guns, the last one to go would be my 52R. It's that good.
