Here's my yardsale find today.

[Raoul]

Remington 552 Speedmaster.

Barrel code indicates manufacture date of 08/1972.

There's a few minor dings on the stock. The barrel is clean with no rust at all. Action looks very good with minimal wear.

All in all a very nice little .22.

I'll range test this puppy tomorrow.

Very nice! Hope you got it at a yard sale price, too!

[gunwhatgun]

That rocks!! My FIL has one and it is the only thing I want that he has, He only has two daughters so I am hoping that since I married the eldest I might get it one day.

[Raoul]

Well considering the MSRP is $650.00, I did quite well.

WELL I HATE YOU NOW. :cool:

Nice find, please let us know how it fuctions so I can hate you more. :wave:

It's good to be hated. lol

I've been looking for an older 552 for a couple of years.

[Erik88]

I go to probably 2-3 yard sales a month and never find anything of value. Hopefully my luck will change.

[Raoul]

Look for fishing poles.

I saw two ugly, beat up 552s in a gun store a few years back. If I knew then what I know now I'd have bought them both. 

 

Love mine, wouldn't mind having another. Congrats on the find!

great looking rifle,  I'd love to have one.  Hoping you got it for a song.

Now that brings back memories. That was my squirrel hunting rifle of choice back in the 60's. Got one for my 16th birthday in 1966. Sure wish I had it today.

[Bad_Bowtie]

Sweet, I grew up shooting my pappaws 552.

[Guest summertime27]

NICE!   I may have to start hittin up the local yard sale's!

[Chazmr]

Around here it seems like the yard sales mostly have clothes, toys, old kitchen appliances and broken furniture.

The best find I ever had was an unused 5 foot wooden oar, about 15 years ago.

 Yeah same here. This was just a fluke.

[Raoul]

Range report.

 

I put about 300 rounds of Remington Golden through it today with no problems. Shoots well and is pretty accurate at the 50 yd plinking range.

When I got back I disassembled and cleaned. I don't think the gun had been cleaned for 20 years.

[Garufa]

Love the Speedmaster.  Fill it up with shorts and you can shoot all day.

First rifle I ever bought was a Remington 572 Fieldmaster.  Bought it at B.F. Myers furniture store in Goodlettsville, TN.  Was that almost a yard sale?

I have a box of .22 ammo I bought at an auto parts store in 1979. $0.79 a box of 50 Super X

[UncleJak]

I must go to the wrong kind of yard sales.  Great find!
