I feel so used. Ask a question then go to RFC for the real answer?

A 52B should be a shooter, If the previous owner thought so too and put 100,000 rounds through it, maybe you will have to rebarrel it to bring it back. If the crown is ruined by cleaning, ditto.

Otherwise I don't know how to advise on a rifle I have never seen.......

BTW, I have never shot one from a bench only from prone with a sling. ie; smallbore prone. Mine held Xring with the right ammo, it was probably one of the Eley match ammo. With the wrong ammo, it would hardly hold the 10 ring at 100 yards.

If the gun is in pretty decent shape and a decent Leupold that's a good price IMHO. Unless something in wrong with the gun they are normally good shooters.

LOL, can't wait to see it. I asked about pics in the other thread before I read this. I guess I need to camp out up there to score any good deals. Congrats on the find!
