Nice!I have used 52's since the late 1960's, they were considered the gold standard of small bore competition at that time. Winchester did a great job of making a competition winning rifle for a long time.
The early triggers are good, nice and crisp but can't be adjusted for a low pull weight, rules at the time required the triggers to lift a 3lb weight to be able to compete so there was no need to have an ultra light trigger. 52C's and later had a better trigger and could go lower.
I've owned a few B's and always felt the B trigger was good considering the weight requirement, shooting various 52's have had B's give me some of my higher scores so they may have a better barrel but hard to judge as all the 52's shoot well.
Last remaining 52 I still have and shoot, a 52B with a Unertl.
