I never joined the Corps but, I'll never forget the ten days I spent at Camp Pendleton way back in 1965 . The sound of corporal Boyd counting cadence, as he marched us from the mess hall was beautiful. Some fine shooting with those two old dog rifles !
Loved the video! This is the first time I came across your channel. Also love my Win 52s. Have an 1936 original, a 52C and a 52D. 52C has a Shilen stainless match barrel and 32x Bushnell. Heaviest rifle I own! My brother and I were shooting wasps and bees at 100 yards. Everyone told us we were lying!
I love your fifth round reaction. They say, it is impossible to shoot and pat yourself on the back at the same time. When the first four are tight, the real skills come out.
I just got my new to me Benchrest rifle. Uses a Remington XBR bolt made in 68' in a custom action and barrel. Just because our rifles are old doesn't mean they cannot shoot. Good shooting. God Bless
I been trying to hone my rimfire skills for 50+ years and I have came to the conclusion, barring a complete worn out rifle, that they all will shoot. He just proved in this video that the Winchester likes Tenex. I am sure the Kimber likes something else. I am still as dull as a butter knife and will never quit learning about the lil .22 lr.
Two classics laying them in there pretty good, love it, and like you said there is not too many things more enjoyable than a good firearm and a brick of ammo at the range. Al
It was fun to watch your video. I have a Winchester Model 75 Target with Olympic sights. It has a 5 round magazine, but can be shot single, one at a time. Made in 1942. It likes Eley the most, followed by Winchester Target T22 in the silver box almost as well. It's less expensive than Eley, but the Winchester ammo's been discontinued. I love those tiny groups the 75 makes. Just line the two circles up. The only time you miss is when you sneeze! P.S. Thanks for the info on the Kimber being a "training" rifle, as opposed to a "target" rifle. I learned something new!
Great video! I'd love to see a comparison shoot off between the Kimber 82G and the H&R M12. Both rifles were used at US Military trainers in the same era.
First time watching your channel, yes, it was entertaining and I will subscribe, I myself have a Winchester model 52 that was made in 1931 that is my baby, one of the first few that they made
Gidday - Hey congrats on the 12K - deserved! Your channel has really inspired me and I recently completed a challenge I'd been trying for since 2015 - shoot 5 groups of 5 shots at 50 yards with ALL groups under 0.5". My range is 47M (51.3 yards) and my average for the 5 groups was 0.293 - this with a Lithgow LA101, Sightron S111 3.5-10 on top, and Eley Match ammo. The challenge has learnt me heaps about rifles (at least 5 of them before the Lithgow), ammo, and shooting technique. So now I'm going to move onto some of your challenges! One thing that I noticed about your shooting in this video - you "walked" the Kimber's groups round the bull. If you didn't make any off camera scope adjustments this may indicate your hold has some small inconsistencies. I often do this - it takes a lot to eliminate! Maybe you have some tension in your right hand? All the best!
I happen to stumble across your video tonight, great video fun to watch thanks for taking the time to do it. I just bought a absolutely beautiful model 52 deluxe Target today. So I'm pretty psyched to get the rifle to the range it has the original Lyman Junior super Target spot sitting on top.
Thanks for your great videos and your great attitude. At 71 I am new to shooting and new to u-tubing, would love to join you at the range but I think it's a ways from Spokane WA. Enjoy shooting your Hostage target and the KYL dots. Keep it up. US Navy 19770-76.
Have H&R M12/5200 from CMP. Shoots 50 yd. Bugholes with Tenex or Western Mark 3 Super Match(1968 vintage. Like a small diameter W52 receiver, made in the 1980's
Hard to beat any Win. 52.My Anschutz shoots better than I can shoot. I have once and only once shot a perfect score of 250 with my Anshutz 1710 and on top of it, it is in the sporter class. Love your videos!
Hey Big Guy Congratulations on passing 12k , it’s all your hard work , knowledge and experience that got you there , remember without you and your awesome content and your happy easygoing personality there wouldn’t be any subscribers , I love and look forward to to every video that you put together , I’m looking forward to congratulating 20k Subs it won’t take long y’all on fire Mate , Aussie Steve .
Devil the 82 was never intended as a match rifle. The fact it shoots as goof as it does is a tribute to old Kimber's manufacturing and your shooting skills. I have a 82G with apertures and it shoots incredibly well considering its not a match grade rifle so dont come down too hard on yours. It is shooting above its class for damned sure. Semper Fi brother.
Just subbed good shooting I bought a 82 kimber sporter it’s a shooter I like mine zeroed at top of red either rifle is a shooter makes them old squirel heads roll
Was wondering if you were using any wind flags? Noticed the trees behind you, looks like the wind picked up with the Kimber? Whatever, fun time, thanks.
CONGRATULATIONS ,I still shoot my Winchester 52 B @ 100 and 200 yds.@ Hopkinton sportsman's Club. I use CCI and Eely standard velocity standard bench rest.Also shoot Springfield 03 and a Ruger 25-06 both cast bullet hand loads ,
There's a kimber 82 at my local gun shop ,he wants a 1000 for it, that's a lot for 22, I pick it up every time I'm in there,just can't pull the trigger on it.
Congratulations on the 12 k it’s easy to see why. You’ve inspired me to get on the paper. Awaiting the new LA101 to show up. Have trigger spring and bolt shims ready to install. Any tips on a scope ? Cheers from OZ 🇦🇺
DATR, a pretty good showing from the 52D it shows the old bull still has it, I don't think you treated the 82G the same !! feed the five then talk ........... just my 2 cents
Nice shootin Tex! Man I love those rifles! Been working on Momma's gun, another 10/22 and it's shooting good. Have to do the challenge with hers. Might even let her have a go at it! Hahaha
@@Dayattherange Wow, that's even sweeter than I thought. I don't have the tools or the woodworking talent to try to make my own custom, so I'll just have to continue working on refinishing the original walnut stock. It's a little beat up, my dad got that Winchester 52D from the shooting club where I took my NRA marksmanship training back in 1974. Even though he raised me shooting, it's one of the rifles I learned formal marksmanship with. The Marine Corps just polished up an already trained marksman.
My baby is a Winchester 52 E , International Match with a Karl Kenyon trigger ( 6 oz.) topped with a Lyman Super spot 20 power. It shoots real well , but I can’t afford that 10 x ammo so it might shoot even better!!…..don’t know.
Brian Tenex doesn't shoot great in everything. This is what makes 22lr so much fun to me. A friend of mine with a 52D his shoots this same ammo at best 1.2in at 50 yards. But CCI pistol match on the other hand shoots .2's and .3's all day long no matter the lot#
The 82g will shoot much better than that. I can personally attest to this. I don't have much range time with the 52d. I feel the barrels are too light for my personal preference. I'm really surprised both guns didn't shoot bettet at that distance with tenex. Still a great video though
Yo Marine I own a H&R M12 I really would like to see the challenge against the kimber 82G, Winchester 52D & my H&R M12 in a Head to Head shoot out Send me your email and we can discuss shipping arrangements, I’ll ship you my H&R M12 for the challenge Alfie
Many that shoot NRA prone, especially those shooting Anschutz rifles will take several shots on the berm before even shooting their sighter targets. Lubes up the bore and warms it to operating temps. My Winchester 52D shoots the first 2 shots a bit low, and by the 3rd shot it is ready to go.
I never joined the Corps but, I'll never forget the ten days I spent at Camp Pendleton way back in 1965 . The sound of corporal Boyd counting cadence, as he marched us from the mess hall was beautiful.

Big Congrats on 12 K !
Two classics laying them in there pretty good, love it, and like you said there is not too many things more enjoyable than a good firearm and a brick of ammo at the range.
Al
These are the best rifle/ammo shootouts !
Love those old dogs going at it. Mr. Winchester took this round I do believe. As always, thank you for bringing us along and congrats onn 12K subs!!
Just saw you shooting a Ruger Target pistol. I got an old S&W 41-2. Wanted one for years!
Nice to see you taking the accuracy more seriously, the bubble level is crucial for serious shooting just like the new base plate.
It was fun to watch your video. I have a Winchester Model 75 Target with Olympic sights. It has a 5 round magazine, but can be shot single, one at a time. Made in 1942.

Awesome video. Love the enthusiasm 👍👍👍. Thanks.
This is the first time I’ve seen a video of yours, it was wonderful. Keep it up. Lee Gibbs
Lee thank you for the encouraging words.
I'm up for it too. Great video, thanks.
Fun to watch the ole boys going at it
O how much I love those small groups, get me so excited
First time viewing. Will be joining and looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you Foster for the info I did not make any scope adjustment like you I believe this is all me.
Wish I would have bought a Kimber when the CMP had them. However, I'm also a Win 52 fan.

Oh this is awesome -- email me some pics I drool over Legendary 22's.
I shot the model 52 in JNRA. Qualified Distinguished Expert at 13years old. Joined the Corps a few years later.

Let's not forget the Remington 40X rimfire. The ones I have are great shooters as well. Mike Walker knew a thing or two about target rifles.
You GOT THIS RIGHT love the 40X what a genius Mr. Walker was.
Just found your channel. Lots of fun!
I learned to shoot on one of those kimbers equipped with diopter sights... throw back
Hard to beat any Win. 52.My Anschutz shoots better than I can shoot. I have once and only once shot a perfect score of 250 with my Anshutz 1710 and on top of it, it is in the sporter class. Love your videos!
Hey Brother. Great shoot-out. I have a Winchester 1937 52 A heavy barrel. Shoots just like yours...OORAH SEMPER FI fellow Marine.
Great shooting you Old Marine! Ooorah from an Army Guy! Fired the 52D back in my High School ROTC rifle team days.
Hey Big Guy

Appreciate ya Steve
Nice shooting with them old dogs I have a H&R m12 that shoots real nice
Just a thought....why not group away from bullseye...so red dot will not be distorted from bullet holes.....leaving aiming point undisturbed...
Nice pair!
That is some shooting right there!! Might want to write down the lot number of that Tenex!!!

Semper Fi brother yes it was meant as a training rifle.
Great ideos!thank you
Thank you Tim
Great videos!
Thanks Gary
The Winchester model 52 is like a sore pecker it’s hard to beat lol! But seriously they are amazing rifles! Btw great videos I’m subscribed!
SIR JUST FOUND YOU GREAT SHOOTING GOD BLESS
Neither rifle should hang their heads. Great shooting, Gunny. 👍🇺🇸
I'm thinking we should call you Mr. 22LR Guy? 😂🤣
Jerry get out of here starting trouble. 🤣
Just subbed good shooting I bought a 82 kimber sporter it’s a shooter I like mine zeroed at top of red either rifle is a shooter makes them old squirel heads roll
Download the target and join the challenge dayattherange.com/?page_id=7184 would love to see some pictures.
Was wondering if you were using any wind flags? Noticed the trees behind you, looks like the wind picked up with the Kimber? Whatever, fun time, thanks.
It can be very windy on my range for sure, I need to invest in a set of good wind flags.
Nice shooting Marine
You should pair the Kimber 82G, Winchester 52D against the H&R M12 .
If I ever come across or find someone with an H&R M12 I sure will
CONGRATULATIONS ,I still shoot my Winchester 52 B @ 100 and 200 yds.@ Hopkinton sportsman's Club. I use CCI and Eely standard velocity standard bench rest.Also shoot Springfield 03 and a Ruger 25-06 both cast bullet hand loads ,
Now that sounds like fun.
I LIKE THEN WAY YOU THINK MR. REVOLVER GUY.
You are the GOAT
How many ounces pull is that trigger? Nice , real nice.
There's a kimber 82 at my local gun shop ,he wants a 1000 for it, that's a lot for 22, I pick it up every time I'm in there,just can't pull the trigger on it.
Deal the cash and grab some ammo. I am sure you then can pull the trigger.
Do a comparison with these 2 vs your CZ. ;-) On a good day.
Awesome vedio 🇿🇦
Congratulations on the 12 k it’s easy to see why. You’ve inspired me to get on the paper. Awaiting the new LA101 to show up. Have trigger spring and bolt shims ready to install. Any tips on a scope ? Cheers from OZ 🇦🇺
Nice a Lithgow what type of shooting are you doing?
@@Dayattherange local range 👍
That Winchester is a awesome rifle. Try some wolf match extra
Always good shooting.
DATR, a pretty good showing from the 52D it shows the old bull still has it,
I don't think you treated the 82G the same !! feed the five then talk ........... just my 2 cents
Yep, I noticed and feel the same.
Subbed! SEMPER FI BRO!
Kimber best rifle I ever had
Wowsers, once that W heats up :)
Enjoying the challenge series! Looking to put modern optics on my 52B. Can you tell me what mounts you are using on your 52d? Thanks!
Check out EGW mount Part SKU:42700
Dayattherange thanks for the part number! Do you find it’s as accurate with the new mount as the Unertl?
P.S.
Happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service sir!
@@derekmorgan4078 Thank you Sir!
Nice shootin Tex! Man I love those rifles! Been working on Momma's gun, another 10/22 and it's shooting good. Have to do the challenge with hers. Might even let her have a go at it! Hahaha
With all due respect to the Kimber, the Win 52D is the king of them all. You should compare it with the Rem 40X.
I have a 52D and where did you get that stock? That is sweet and I'd love to get one.
Ski that stock is a one of a kind the gentlemen I got this from had it made by Carl Bernowski world class shooter.
@@Dayattherange Wow, that's even sweeter than I thought. I don't have the tools or the woodworking talent to try to make my own custom, so I'll just have to continue working on refinishing the original walnut stock.

Id like to put up my CZ453 bull barrel, set trigger, in .22 lr
whats the lot number of that 10X ?
My baby is a Winchester 52 E , International Match with a Karl Kenyon trigger ( 6 oz.) topped with a Lyman Super spot 20 power. It shoots real well , but I can’t afford that 10 x ammo so it might shoot even better!!…..don’t know.

Where is your range located😂
Nice.
what is that rig you are shooting off. I need something like that.
It is a ransom rifle master rest.
I consider cold weather training 10-below
I want another rematch
The 82g will shoot much better than that. I can personally attest to this. I don't have much range time with the 52d. I feel the barrels are too light for my personal preference. I'm really surprised both guns didn't shoot bettet at that distance with tenex. Still a great video though
Leftie Rightie Hayyyy Doooo! Left Right.
cant go to the range at the moment, requires double vaccination before i can go lol. only have my first so far
I came close a few years back getting getting a Kimber 82. Kick in the sack for not getting it.
nice - but a little less gab would go a long ways
It was 'bug'hole' day.
My friend Charlie it was a great day. I never know what I am going to get when I turn on the camera.
Old dogs can still fight.
TWO CLICKS = ONE CLICK......😮 LMAO
Yo Marine I own a H&R M12 I really would like to see the challenge against the kimber 82G, Winchester 52D & my H&R M12 in a Head to Head shoot out
Send me your email and we can discuss shipping arrangements, I’ll ship you my H&R M12 for the challenge

mr.revolverguy at dayattherange.com
Mine has a cone breach. Feeds fairly easy
Richard does it feed Tenex easily? If the freedom pill is pointy like Lapua it is smooth as butter.
@@Dayattherange I tried CenterX and that was good. I also used Eley Match and it was fine. Inside my action is what looks like a slotted loading ramp.
I’m gonna bring Trump, is it okay?
To much talk and only ok groups .
We are not interested in watching you shoot !!!
Many that shoot NRA prone, especially those shooting Anschutz rifles will take several shots on the berm before even shooting their sighter targets. Lubes up the bore and
warms it to operating temps. My Winchester 52D shoots the first 2 shots a bit low, and by the 3rd shot it is ready to go.
Yes even I will do it honestly if at a match. On camera for fun I just let everyone see what I see no complaints of cherry picking
