Remington Model 552 Speedmaster
Introduced in 1957 and introduced to me in 2020. An autoloading rifle that shoots .22 short/long. It's a semiautomatic that weighs 5.75 lbs. This is my first rifle and man, it's pretty cool! Courtesy to my gramps for the 552 and his tips and tricks when shootin'. He made me realize that bullets go far (go figure), that there is bullet drop, and that squirrels are hard to hit. I have yet to go shoot but after holding and familiarizing myself with the 552, I can tell it'll be a fun lil' .22 to shoot! Can't wait! Below is me This picture appeared on the cover of Life Magazine (October 29, 1940) and pictured the first man (Yuen Chong Chan) who was drafted into the U.S. Army at the start of World War II. Here Mr. Chan practices his aim at a local shooting gallery that features Remington Model 241 Gallery Rifles. remingtonsociety.org
