WTB: Remington 552 Speedmaster

[dangermoney]

I am currently in the market for a Remington 552 Speedmaster .22 caliber rifle in very good to excellent condition, reliable and fully functional, accurate with no barrel crown damage, and without the comb stock if possible (I prefer the older straight stocks). It doesn't have to come with a scope as I already have one for it.

So, if anyone is looking to give an unused small game rifle a good, loving home, then this is your chance. I promise that I will take it out to play on a regular basis. Thanks.

I was in there today and saw two of them including a brand new one behind the counter. The better one was missing the rear sight, the other one had some barrel crown damage, and the new one was really nice but a bit expensive. I would prefer an older one with the straight stock but I would also consider a new one if I could find one locally at a better price. I appreciate the heads up though. Thanks.

If your heart is not set...

I've got that 550-1 listed which I'm selling MUCH cheaper than 552's go for...

Thanks for the offer Nomad, but I do have my heart set on a 552. The main reasons are that it is light and I find it similar in shouldering and feel to the 870 Wingmaster shotgun that I also hunt with.

However, the 550-1 is one damn fine rifle and I know this from experience as I grew up shooting my father's. Shot many, many rounds through it and I got to where I could shoot the gonads off a gnat at hunting distance with that gun. I do seem to remember that his had a tendency to jam now and then but we would shoot short, long, and long rifle ammo through it, whatever we could get our hands on. He still has it to this day and I will probably end up getting it from him at some point.

Good luck, inexpensive 552's are hard to find.

I'd keep the 550-1 except it puts alot of 'blow back' into a lefty's eye (Not right handed though) and I'm Cross dominant.


You checked Gunbroker, Arms America, and Auction Arms?

I've got two of them and they are great rifles, accurate and reliable. You may check gun broker, I've seen them from time to time.
