    Nice 52C. I have a stash of PMC Target made in Korea that shoots one hole groups. I'm not sure PMC still makes it but if you can find it is is great stuff.
    PMC is out of business........

        Several years ago PMC went out of business. I guess the name has been bought by another company. I have one rifle that loves the old Zapper and I bought several cases back then. Does the new company make Zapper?

          Went to their website. I see no rimfire ammo listed.

            Looks like the rifle I bought from a man in 1967 and took to college with me. Modified the stick, sadly,adding an adjustable buttplate. Paid $75 for mine... A lot of money in 1967.

              I paid about the same for this one in '67 dollars. $704.00 out the door.

                  Well then, you got yourself one heck of a deal. But that's the way it goes: If your looking hard for one, you'll be lucky to find a decent one in the 850-900 range. I have 4 W52s now and most turn in their best groups, by far, with Eley Match. Ammo off the #1 machine seems to be best in factory barrels. Lapua Center X is a close second and more affordable. If you really want a fun challenge, mount an old Lyman Super Target Spot and shoot some groups at 100 yds. My C, at 50 yds, shoots consistent groups in the .17" range. At 100 yds, I can sometimes break 1".
