Winchester 52c

[FFEMT]

Looking for a little help to put a value on a gun that has been offered to me. It's a Winchester 52c,complete with the original box) with a full set of Redfield Olympic peeps. The original trigger has been replaced with a Canjar trigger and the original trigger is not available,Bummer). It also comes with a Lyman 15X Mil-dot with a fine crosshair in it's original box. The rifle is in 95%+ condition, the owner is also throwing in a couple bricks of Federal ??? ammo that is suppose to be target grade. I remember reading an article a few years back about Winchester 52's, that had some information about each subset,A,B,C,D) and that some of the 52's shot better than others, but I really don't remember how they were rated. The offer price is $1,000 for the package, which sounds pretty fair to me, but I would like some input on what you guy's think of the price and any info on the 52c itself as a shooter. I'm thinking this would make a nice companion to my Model 75 ...........Thanx, Bob Levingston.

The 52c is a step up from the 75 or so I've heard 1000.00 aint so bad I watch them on gunbroker all the time theirs a 52c with a 24x unertl that is selling for 2500.00 the bid is up to that all original is good I have a52a a 52c in a bench stock and tuner shoots great but so does the a just made a deal for 52b with 20x unertl I love um

I still shoot the old 52b that Dad and Grandpa used to compete with, complete with the 20x Lyman. It's a great old rifle that still shoots well. The "c" has better trigger than my rifle. I think $1000 sounds reasonable, but have to admit that I haven't shopped for one in a long time.
