In the 70s, I had a 52B for small bore competition. It was as accurate as any of the Anschutes on our team. Thanks for the memories. That 52 you are shooting is awesome. 👍
I love 52's, have 4 of 'em! I shot rimfire BR competition for lots of years, and built rimfire BR rifles. However, I never used 52's as BR rifles. My rifles were built off 40X Rem actions with Jewell triggers. Won a National championship in 2006. But, I built a few BR rifles off 52-D actions for others and they were excellent. Slick working actions. Eley Club? SOme lots are decent, some aren't as with all Eley ammo. LOL Enjoyed your video.
That was a fun shoot and your commentary always makes me laugh. Mr. Wookie keeping it real LOL! I've beat the 'rona and my energy is coming back....which means I hope to get to the range come Tuesday. Wish me luck!
I tried the Eley Club in my Ruger 10/22 with 20" Kidd barrel, and it shot reasonably well, although it would not shoot half inch groups at 50 yards. They averaged 1,036 fps over the chronograph. I also tried the Eley Club in my Charles Daly bolt action by Zastava. I only managed one group under half an inch at 50 yards. The rest were all under 3/4". Over the chronograph, they averaged 1,072 fps from the 22" barrel of the Charles Daly.
I have used the Eley Club in a few different rifles, and so far, have not found one that really likes that ammo. I had similar results, 60%-75% would shoot tight and always had 1-2 open up the group. Was considering sorting to see if there were different rim thicknesses that could be the cause. Haven't checked it through the chronograph either.
I used to shoot Eley Club in league. I had a Remington model 51 and it shot well. That was an indoor 50 ft. range. It was probably good enough for that range. Thanks for the video. Hope you don't mind I shot your hostage challenge at my indoor range with my 10/22. It was still a blast!
Cool vid, I have a 1942 52B heavy barrel. Im from the UK and its a very hard to find rifle here...it shoots 1 hole groups with Eley Tenex /EPS match grade ammo still today.
Both are a work of art I agree but I just absolutely love the Win52 Nostalgic. -- Ambos são uma obra de arte eu concordo, mas eu simplesmente amo o Win52 Nostalgic.
Way back I used an O’Callaghan Special n competitions. It flew in the face of convention. Lightweight, small and hand made. It shot 1 hole at 25 and 50 yards using eley subs. Still got it and it shoots just as good today. Bandy O’Callaghan has gone RIP, he was the best gunsmith.
I know this is an older video but I've tried to contact Parsons years ago and even though there was a web connection with a phone number they are obviously out of business. Any vintage scope repair I would direct to iron sight that can do the work on vintage scopes
Enjoyed the video and the beautiful rifles. As to the screw you are looking for, have you reached out to Nibs at "Walnut and Steel?" He has an incredible collection of vintage scopes and might have the screw that you need.
Great videos, I watch them all. I'm in the market for a Protector rear bag. It looks like you have the 1" ears, I was looking at the 2.5" ear bag. I'm sure you've shot both, why do you use the 1"?
I for one has not had any better groups at 50 yards with Eley with my CZ 457 match rifle. I tried Wolf "Gold Match" [german] made which delivered 1/2" to 3/4" groups at the 50 yard target. I'll also use Norma standard velocity for fine tuned hole punching. The truth is that certain production runs of Eley can give better results than others. So the luck of the purchase is at hand. Caveat Emptor!
I’ve shot some mediocre groups with Eley Club but nothing stellar through my various 22LR rifles. Much better results with Eley Match and Tennex. Have heard good things about Eley Team but haven’t tried it yet.
I found Ely Contact to be better then Club and cheaper but that's out of my CZ457 with American barrel that I cut four inches off of and now it's 20" barrel and it loves the Ely Contact or SK Biathlon
I am airguns lover and Japanese man living in Bangkok over 30 years. It's real gunpowder rifle but beautiful .22 rifle with high accuracy. From t2bkk channel in Bangkok
DATR, The Wookie is nice, but I still prefer the 52D......just think if you upgraded the optics on the old bull as you had on the Wookie !!.......... It seems they both like Eley
I wish I could find someone to help me with the small repair on the scope. The guy that purchased the Unertl parts is in the process of moving I am just missing that one little screw. UGH
Hey Top, as stated in an earlier comment the last time you shot the 52d, I have had and shoot a 52d for 50 years. For many, many years I only shot Remington 22 LR match ammo but frankly, in my opinion. the last 10-12 years, Rem match 22LR is no better than it's standard 22. After trying different brands for various manufactures, various countries of origin, I found that my 52d shoots Agulia better than any other brand of 22 LR ammo, match or standard. Now I'd like to throw out something other than the Twist and the length of the two different barrels you're shooting, In shooting various brands, to find the best shooting, I'v noticed the "crimp factor",ie., "modified crimp" or "no crimp" or an "actual crimp" in 22 LR ammo. You and I both know that in itself will make a difference. No I haven't weighed out 22 rounds, only do that on my 30-06 match grade reloading, with 168g BTHP, for my 40x As far as looking for a screw for the scope, have someone you know check out the thread and the depth, then search through old rifle, pistol parts at Jack First Gun Parts and Numeric gun parts. You might find one that has the same thread, thread depth with a shoulder high enough to hold the spring in place. Both have screws from older Mossberg, Remington, Winchester, and some foreign firearms. Just a thought.
When shooting groups keep your head on the stock till you are don't with the group. Every time u pick ur head up u slightly change parallax and that will influence the group. Consistent cheek weld is very important.
I have tried all kinds of eley in all three of of my cz457 target rifles and none of it shoots in my czs I just don't care for the wax on that ammo they shoot lights out with center x or sk standard plus and that ammo is as cheap as eley good shooting bro. Beagleman
@@Dayattherange got the arken ep5 scope. It has the same reticle the sh series which is fine with me. The ep 4 reticle was too fine and hard to see against dark backgrounds and the 56mm front lense seems to let in a bit more light. Still haven't had a chance to get it to the range. I guess it looks like the ep 4 but with a bigger bell and of course the 5x magnification. It's black and not the pewter grey.
I shoot eley club through my 10-22 with a factory bull barrel. I can cover the 10 shot group at 50 yards with a dime. I do have a Kidd bolt and trigger components.
Shooter plays a large part, but we've all seen you shoot well. I don't think this is on the shooter or conditions but rather the gun itself. The groups themselves have no consistency or predictability. We've seen it with the higher end ammo and now with this ammo. Given that last group, even a broken clock is right twice a day. I would love to see some more testing with Center-X and Midas Plus since that's what the barrel was headspaced for and I think that will truly determine if there something wrong with the gun.
Not you - I have done weight and rim thickness on club and match for my cz… 10% of ammo was out of 2standard deviation from the standard norm… this caused flyers!
Shooting Eley Club you might as well be shooting CCI standard velocity I tried several times with my two CZ and both Anschutz no different always produces flyers
Hi, I found RWS Rifle match does well in my B14R Carbon for a middle of the road bullet, I have tried several different Ammo so far. I have not tried Ely or Lapua yet, Have you found one that works for you?
@@Dayattherange Understood. Your rifle is accurate. But, for precision, it must shoot from the same position each time. Is the bottom of the fore stock flat? Do you have a level on the rifle? How do you guarantee the rifle is in the same positions as the last shot? Lots to consider with a rifle positioned only within 3/4" of the last shot. Push on!
Stop using junk ammo and expecting .250 groups . Eley club is not br ammo, that being said the win 52 has a much better ignition than the rimx. One of the most iconic .22 br actions is modeled after the win 52. Use quality ammo and lot test. Shooting groups isn't hard shoot that same ammo for score on ara or ir50 target and get back with me.
Love your comments however I have watched the rifles you shoot and I have to say I believe it is in the ammo and not your fault because it happens pretty regular and the only time the targets get better is when you get so called better ammo.
JK the 40x is one that got away from me probably will never own one you just don't see them anymore at least ones I could afford. I agree on the cool factor for the 52.
In the 70s, I had a 52B for small bore competition. It was as accurate as any of the Anschutes on our team. Thanks for the memories. That 52 you are shooting is awesome. 👍

Cutt an old scope ring down to put behind the scope spring. It would make the spring tension adjustable.

NICCCEEE RIFLE!!
You didn`t reset your unertl scope on the second target. You have to do it every time you shoot or get rid of it.
Strange flyers on the rem-x. I don't know, Cold bore drift or is it the odd ball out of spec round of ammo.
Your videos. Where did u get that stock? Thank you.
I went straight to the target views. What is this 50 yards or 100 yards? Thanks.
Ruger precision rim fire loves it !!!!but I got 47 products single shot loader for her .. made a difference. We all know about the roatery mags
When shooting groups keep your head on the stock till you are don't with the group. Every time u pick ur head up u slightly change parallax and that will influence the group. Consistent cheek weld is very important.

I'd sure like to see you use some SK Biathlon
Love that woox chassis. Is that an arken on top?
Yes sir Arken on top.
@@Dayattherange great scopes for the price...maybe the best for the price. Just ordered the new 5-25×56 EP 5. Hopefully its as good as the others.
@@Picasofly Please let me know what you think of it.
@@DayattherangeI ordered it a week ago so it should be here in 2 to 3 weeks. I'll let you know as soon as I take it to the range.

Try ews inmate custom mounts for the 52
Find what size screw that is. Call Tacoma Screw in Seattle or Tacoma,Wa. They will have that screw
Good on you matey.
I shoot eley club through my 10-22 with a factory bull barrel. I can cover the 10 shot group at 50 yards with a dime. I do have a Kidd bolt and trigger components.
I would retorgue the chassis screws and the optic base and mounts on wookie
I need to do my part watch until the end 😊😊
Check out Leatherwood they make reproduction Malkom scopes and mounts , love the video, Blastone signing off
I forgot to tell you it's HI Lux that may have Malcom parts and mounts , goodbye from Blastone

Where is the scope manufactured ,what is the hole size ?
could you tell me What front rest are you using ?
Hold the stock tighter to your shoulder.
I would like to see the Remington 510 have a crack at Winchester 52
Not you - I have done weight and rim thickness on club and match for my cz… 10% of ammo was out of 2standard deviation from the standard norm… this caused flyers!
I have an Anschutz that takes a full box or more of rounds to get it to settle back down....
A scope doesnt gather light, it transmits it.
Is that 50 yards?
what the hell scope is that explain please
If you shoot long enough, you should know by now, that you don't change ammo from what you use to sight the gun in with. IMHO
I use eley club in my tikka t1x and its extremly accurate, i can put 10 roubd groups at 50 yards 0.2 moa all day long.
Shooting Eley Club you might as well be shooting CCI standard velocity I tried several times with my two CZ and both Anschutz no different always produces flyers
You may need to hunt up a machinist to make you a screw for that Unertl.
What front rest is that?
Great shooting. Always a good day when you can get to the range
The 52 hands down
what kind of stock is that on the 52
Special hand made stock from Carl Bernosky.
Probably have to go to a gunsmith and have him make you one God bless have fun be safe
Just shoot. Do not touch the optic as it will settle in. I shot one those for years and if set up right, is a hands off scope.
my Bergara just doesn't seem to like Eley Club or Rifle Match 🤷🏻
Hi, I found RWS Rifle match does well in my B14R Carbon for a middle of the road bullet, I have tried several different Ammo so far. I have not tried Ely or Lapua yet, Have you found one that works for you?
Eley club has those issues. You got as much as you can without sorting.
Price€??..
Win 52! My pick.
You need a longer scope
One word flyers.
Beagleman
Eley club is decent but it needs to be sorted.
TIME FOR A NEW BARREL, JUST TO SEE IF THAT MAYBE THE CAUSE OF IT??!!🤷♂️
GET A WALTHER BARREL FOR THIS ONE ALSO.
Eley Club just isn't up to the task. I have five bricks and it's too light to be an anchor.
Winchester for me.
Get a benchrest front rest with forward stop. Your rifle is not in the same place for each shot.
This has a front rest stop I was not using it. This is one of the most sturdy rest there is from Ransom Rest.
@@Dayattherange Watch your video!
@@guymuto4054 Guy as I stated was not using it look closely, pause it at 12:35 and you will see it is turned sideways.

Certenly the old Bock
Winschester 52
Try eleybblack match
Winchester is the winner however it can shoot smaller groups if you get a better shooter behind the rifle.
Always can be a better shooter but it doesn't like this ammo. Always welcome to join me as I would look forward to learning from you.
Have a machine shop make you the skrew
Wish I had one local no luck what a shame.
Match grade rifle needs match grade ammo, Eley Match and Tenex will give you better results.
Go to your local machinist and have a screw made
You can't beat the longer barrels. They offer more stability while shooting on the bench.
very true.

Winchester 52 the winner
Even a blind hog gets an acorn I know you can shoot we've seen it with your other guns I'm just not sold on the Wookie for the price
Winchester
That definitely isn't going to win that challenge old man better do something different lol.

All eley amo shots about the same dont clean your gun wands it troops good
Stop cleaning
My 52 doesn't shoot as good as my 40x but it's so damn cool don't care
JK the 40x is one that got away from me probably will never own one you just don't see them anymore at least ones I could afford. I agree on the cool factor for the 52.
Typical eley club. Just use it for plinking. Not a good benchrest ammo. Get what you pay for.
Hi, sell both rifles and buy a Anschutz BR 50.30 and stop wasting time! cheers
That win 52 will most definitely hang with and surpass a anshutz.
