Nice rifle - enjoy!
I've regretted not buying one of the 52Cs that CMP had for sale years ago. By the time I got off my butt & ordered a couple of the CMP 52s, all they had left were single shot D models. Grateful that I was able to get a couple of those rifles, but it'd be nice to have a C repeater to play with & compare to the 40X repeaters. I did have the good sense to send the triggers out of both my D models to Karl Kenyon for his modifications before he passed away - they're a very sweet single stage trigger.
My 52B I found has a Canjar trigger. It's kinda weird having a trigger that has no perceivable overtravel whatsoever. Sometimes it slam fires so I won't ever really use it as a field gun unfortunately. And by slam fire I mean just closing the bolt....not ramming it home.
The little pigtail wire inside the trigger guard for the bolt release leaves a little to be desired.
At 50 yards talk about scope movement......

shooter65 - Doan's one of those guys that, once you meet him in person and get to know him, you just can't help but like & respect a lot. He put a lot of effort into that sporter stock, so even though I don't shoot it much, it's more than just a pretty rifle. Every time I get it out to handle & look it over, I'm reminded of good times spent with Doan & other New Mexico prone shooters out at the Berger LR Nationals in Phoenix several years ago. Hard to explain with words, but simply put, it represents a special rifle done as a favor by a special friend. It'll probably still be here in my safe long past the point where I can shoot it. Thanks for the complement though - you ought to see it up close if you think it looks nice in the photo.
What would yall say is the better rifle 40x vs Win 52?
pmclaine how does the Springfield compare to Win 52?

Ive been wanting to get it set up for irons though. Could anyone give me a measurement of the front dovetail height and then the barrel diameter at that point? As you can see mine isnt tapped like so many were but I have a set of redfields already, just need to know the correct height over bore for the dove tail to mount them with.
