remington 552 Speedmaster

[gregr]

I have a remington 552 Speedmaster that I bought brand new, way back in 1980, the year my twins were born. I forget the name of the place that I bought is...something like "Sportsmans Warehouse"? It was on the east side of Indy, where I lived at that time. I`m sure I have the original sales receipt, but do not recall off the top of my head what I paid for it. I have read online that these rifles are currently very expensive, and as I`m not a fan of remington, and actually prefer a bolt action over a semi-auto, I`m wondering if I might want to sell this rifle. I`ve recently has swivels installed and replaced the old scope it had with a Leupold rimfire scope, and it`s a pretty sweet looking .22 LR rig. The rifle still looks brand new.

I`m thinking I may want to trade this and get a nice bolt-action.22 LR. Maybe a Winchester? If I were to get a new-ish .22 LR bolt-action, would Winchester be a good one to consider? If not, what would be?

CZ makes incredible .22 LR bolt action rifles that are extremely well built and probably way more accurate than the hobby shooter can shoot. Check out the CZ rifles before you buy any .22 rifle. My !

You may want to consider a Ruger 77/22 bolt action? I own a Ruger 77/17 HMR bolt action and they are very well built. They are designed from the factory for scope use only. They do not come nor are they equipped with regular iron sites. Mine is dead accurate. Just ask the ground hogs around me. Oh wait...you can't they are dead.

Many great options in bolt action rimfires. Modern and older used ones. CZ 457, Tikka T1x, Ruger American, Ruger Precision Rimfire. Used Anschutz 54 actioned rifles, Winchester 52s (original or reproductions are both excellent), old Mossbergs . Lots of good choices.

CZ 452 American is what I have kept after owning all sorts of rimfire rifles over the years.

It is cool that you know woodchuckese tho.

I can only get them to chatter and grind their teeth and I don't understand a thing other than they want a piece of me...
