The dirtiest shooting rifle ever made is also very accurate.

Re: 552 Speedmaster 25 yard offhand challenge
They are great rifles! I can remember shooting a friend's off sand bags hitting baby aspirin at 25 yards.
I have one in the safe( a 572 also) and I really should take them out to play.
The 552 has a floating chamber so S,L,LR can work and that's why the are so dirty. But the system works very well.
Oh good shooting too!

The 552 has standard chamber , it's the 550-1 that has floating chamber.
This rifle was Dad's , 1982 . Had never been all the way down until last year I did a major clean up .

Nice. I love the balance of the 552. I had one for a while that I got used, and then swapped it off again.

Huh, guess my ol memory ain't what it used to be as I remember it is a floating chamber. At any rate they are great 22s!
