.22 LR is slow death for something as big as a ground hog. Unless you are at say 50-75 yrds. yeah it will kill em, but it's not a very humane way to go. I use a .17 HMR at 100 and less or a .223 at longer distances. They are very dead by the time I walk up to them. They basically don't know what hit them providing I placed the shot well. Even though they are problem critters around here I still like them to die without suffering.

Vash is talking about ground squirrels. We don't have ground hogs around here.
I would like to be a smart-ass about it, but I won't. That repair is awesome.

I can tell you that I was a terror on ground squirrels with that thing...all the ranchers hate them where I grew up in California and would let me and the boys hunt anytime we wanted. Enjoy!

my rancher lady friend hates them squirrels, but hates people booming with big varmit rifles.
i slung $80 worth of arrows into tall grass trying to impale one of those things..about 3 arrows. $80 will buy alot of .22 ammo!! i hope the old lady lets me camp out in her patures with the .22.

A great job..........
on the stock! And it turned out to be a nice piece of walnut to boot! Should be good for another 80 years. Now this Mod 52 can go back out into the field where it belongs, being carried and shot.

wow thanks guys. I too am pleased with the way it turned out. You can see the repair if you have it in your hand and look close. The figuring really came out after I got the old finish off. The other side is even better. They don't always come out so well. Yeah it does shoot nice and has a really nice trigger pull. Breaks like glass. So as Fred said so well....back in the field again, where it belongs. I'm glad to be part of it's resume'.

The Winchester Model 52 is........
argueably the best .22 bolt gun ever made, especially the early ones. They sold for $50-$60 when most .22s were under twenty bucks. The ones that are still around that were used but not abused are truly treasures. I consider it an honor to be a member of the fraternity of '52 owners and hope that I can pass my M52 along someday to a deserving new owner!
