Firearms FS Winchester Model 52 C Bull Gun

I am listing up a Winchester Model 52 C repeater Bull Gun. It is a true bull gun not a heavy target that often gets called a bull gun. Barrel is 28" 1.125 at breach and 7/8" at muzzle. This is the rarest of the cataloged Winchester 52's. I have only seen two in 40 years. Fewer were produced than the 52C Sporting rifles. Has scope blocks for Unertl type scope. Several scopes available if wanted. It is original in every way and great condition. Very accurate. 1950.00.

Will post up photos this evening.

Ares ETR UHD 3-18x50 or comparable scopes?



Looks like the MIL version is out of stock now. I got my MIL versions at Midway on a “One Shot Deal”. They lasted for about a week before they sold out. Keep watching though as they comeback every once in a while with a similar deal.

AR Positional POI Shift Test

I will note on this particular rifle I bridged the upper and handguard with the scope mount. Not intentionally, I just didn’t have a cantilever available and this was unused.

I have wondered about bridging my upper/rail with a low YHM riser and seeing if that would help stiffen the system and reduce the POI shift I've seen.

Or if they were still available, something like a Swan Sleeve.

I might mess with that this weekend.

Help me pick a scope...

Glass on both are great. The Razor is made in Japan so costs more. The Viper is made in Philippines so less cost
Razor is geared more toward pure hunting. The Viper is Tactical but works great for hunting as well

I would look at both and decide for yourself. I have both and love them both. Same warranty but have not had an issue with either model

First Remington 700 build..

What's the twist in the 308 barrel? In the short term you may have an easy jump to shoot some of the 308 caliber monos that I designed and manufacture to get you to 1100 yards with better consistency.


On the rifle project topic:

It's well covered here that you would be money ahead to look at an Origin, Solus, Mack Bros Evo, etc instead of buying a 700 just to rip it apart and have work done to the action.

We can do any/all of the above whichever way you decide to go but I'll summarize my thoughts (they're basically the same as others)

1) Leave the 308 alone, try some different bullets and you'll be able to shoot immediately while you wait for the new project to be finished.
2) I would strongly recommend an aftermarket action that is known/established for being able to accept prefits. PVA really kicked off that market segment and it's been growing well for the last 10 years. It's easy to assemble an excellent rifle with basic armorer tools in your basement or garage.
3) 6 GT is fine, we can handle that and you can shoot hand loads or factory ammo very well with it. We have blanks in stock in any contour you want (we contour to order) up to 28" long.

Feel free to give me a call if you'd like to talk through it. Not to sound cocky about it, but this is literally our core business model. Happy to help answer any questions you have on it.

SOLD Vectronix Terrapin LRF SPF

I wish. Someone beat me to it with a PM unfortunately. I always thought protocol was posting in the thread? Oh well, someone got a hell of a deal.
Sorry man, I had a message when I got up this morning. I was just waiting for payment. I have been contacted by scammers when I’ve replied to a thread, so I usually take it to pm myself.
