Anyone shooting one of these? Nice classic looking gun with a gold bead sight which I can see. Sight like a Browning take down [nice too].  The Speedmaster looks like a nice choice. Is it?

Found one a couple years ago at a gunshow, built in'69. It's a real fun shooter, much more substantial than a lot of .22s. Shooting shorts(holds 20) is a blast, just need to really clean afterwards or it will jam on LR. The ejection "deflector" takes some getting used to, but you could remove it if it was a dealbreaker.  2 thumbs up!

My uncle has one that is over 30 yrs old, and I have one that is 25 yrs old.  We have put untold thousands of rounds thru these two work horses.   I have never had a problem with them (and have neglected them badly).  Always work, and are quite accurate rifles (almost boring.....aim, fire, dead).

bought 2 of those within the last month, the 552's.

both 1962

one regular length and one carbine. still trying to figure out the cryllic symbols, no reply from remington.

I use mine primarily with the shorts.... and it holds 23 of them, not 20.

be careful, they are addictive being at a perfect price point.

try to get a pre-1969 if you can, no serial numbers are more desireable when/if you sell it.
