The heart of the Model 52B is its incredible
trigger system. Over the years the name
“Micro Motion Trigger” has become syn-
onymous with accuracy.
The rear of the receiver is drilled and
tapped for mounting a peep sight. The
plain barrel can be fitted with a front
sight by a gunsmith, if you so desire.
The in-line, curved magazine offers reliable
feeds. The button on the right side releases
the magazine for re-filling.
Low profile swivel attach-
ments just like early versions
of half a century ago.
The magazine release button is conveniently
placed on the side of the stock, just below the
ejection port.
The forearm adjustment screw lets you
apply pressure or force against the underside
of the barrel in order to maximize accuracy.

The receiver top is drilled and
tapped for scope mounts. This
is a rifle with accuracy truly
worthy of the finest scopes.
The Model 52B’s Micro Motion
trigger system is famous for its
smooth, crisp let-off.
The thumb-operated safety is con-
veniently located on the right side
of the receiver, just forward of the
bolt handle.
A cocking indicator on the rear end
of the bolt makes it easy to deter-
mine your rifles cocking status.
