Remington Speed master 552
Anyone have one and if so are they good shooters?
I always wanted one, not sure why but I like the way they look.
Thanks ahead of time.

I like mine. I posted about it a few weeks ago. I bought mine used and it had a 4x Simmons scope already mounted. I made sure the screws were tight and lined it up with CCI hp. Mine's accurate and runs well. I squirrel hunted with it one day this year and was 5 for 5 on head shots. Of course there were plenty of squirrels and I took my time. 0 -
My Dad had one and they are nice rifles. 0 -
I had a 552 for many years and I probably shot it more than any .22 rimfire rifle I've owned. Takedown was as easy (if I recall correctly): drive out two receiver pins, pull out the trigger group, then remove the fore end screw and slide out the barrel assembly. Not much to it. 0 -
Got one, and a couple of it's ancestors, the 550-1. Very accurate for a hunting grade rifle, digests about anything you feed it. Some will cycle CCI CB Longs semi auto, almost noiseless. Some of the newer 552s have a Monte Carlo stock that some folks don't like- comb sits too high for iron sights, about right for scope. Understand they have now gone back to a straight stock. Been making those since 1957. 0 -
I have a 552 “Gallery Special “ with a Lyman peep sight. It shoots shorts only. It’s a blast to shoot! 3 -
just keep it clean 0 -
Do NOT confuse it with the Remington Viper 552 which is a piece of junk. 0 -
I have a 552 and a 572( pump version ) like both but really have not shot them more than a few times when I bought them many many years ago I truly like the looks and feel they seem to be more a big rifle feel to them I have a few ruger 10-22"s I shoot more than any other 22 I have
my trouble /obsession
and terrible habit every time I shoot a gun no matter what it is I I feel the need to completely take it all the way down to clean it not just run a brush thru the barrel and wipe down the out side I would wear out a gun cleaning it well before shooting it especially a 22 the ruger's are so basic and make it too easy to clean so the Remington's and others I have get side tracked a lot . ( I know no need every single time but like trying to eat only one potato chip I cant stop when cleaning a gun )
