BSA…you should get some vintage glass to make that 52 pop! Not that you don’t shoot it pretty damn well with irons…
Thanks buddy. You have a very nice collection there. Yeah, the 52 is pretty easy to shoot with irons, but I have to shoot it right handed. It would be cool to have an old scope so I can sit behind it and shoot it proper (left handed). I don't know how much I'd use it with the old scope, but it sure would be cool to finish it out with a nice Lyman or Unertl. The guys at my club have some old 52's like mine and they do very well scoped with the old target scopes. When I first joined the club, I found it amazing that such an old gun and scope could punch a single hole in the target. Then when I saw them doing it with irons, that made it that much more amazing to me!!! The funny thing is my old rifle shoots better than I can. I have to admit something. I was at a new range closer to home last year and a younger guy (maybe in his 30's) was there from California. He said he shot a little competition there and had always wanted a model 52. I asked if he would shoot mine and he jumped at the opportunity. He put 10 shots in a smaller hole than I normally do and said, "boy is this a sweetheart". I thanked him for shooting my rifle so I could see what it could really do. Now the OP is wondering what this has to do with "old" 22 scopes.. But with all the eye candy you guys are posting, he can't really complain!!!! Nice rifles guys.
