Again not military, 2nd HW52 comes to me

Probably the most popular caliber firearm in most of the world. Many of us have more than one. They also are very collectible and still cheap to shoot.

Left handed stock, first one, I came across in that configuration.

Very interesting rifle!
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy!

Yes, they are interesting and there are some other versions around.

Here is my first one:

They were also made in .22hornet and also up to .222rem.

The action reminds me of a high wall in .22rf I saw it could have been winchester. I take it its a smooth action, pivots at the rear or lowers a platform?

The block drops straigt down, like on Ayds or Brownings.

Very smoth. The early ones have arivited together block(like the lefty stocked) on the later ones the block is one piece(fully stocked one).

There were also two type of triggers, but the earlier variation must have been made in real low numbers, have only a drawing of it.

Set triggers were also installed in some models.

It spits the cases right back, if no diopter is installed, better not open your mouth, while ejecting :D

Got two diopters(one set for 50m and one for 100m) and one micrometersight for the rifles.
