	Winchester model 52 (1934) with speed lock and ladder rear sight, 100 yards, Aguila .22 LR rifle match competition ammo. This ammo uses Eley primed cases and for me, shoots as well as Eley 10x. While Eley Retails for around $27.95 a box, the Aguila can be had for $55.00 a brick, or less (500 rounds).

	That's some extraordinarily good shooting for 100yds w/iron sights! I assume it was off a bench? How many shots - 5? I have an old M52 which I've not shot in a long time.

	Outstanding marksmanship Capt Frank!!! I personally didn't know much about the Winchester 52 so I let Larry Potterfield from Midway USA educate me about this very accurate rifle: (You need to *Login* to view media files and links)

	Winchester starting making them in 1919, wanted to sell to Army as a trainer, hence the ladder sight on earlier models. The Army was not interested, 5 were given to a rifle team, which shot them in a match, and won the first five places. This started the rifle's reputation as a winner, it was the Holy Grail of .22 target rifles, until about 1980.
