Remington 552 Speedmaster

[56FordGuy]

Has anyone got one of these rifles? What do you think about it?

It's a semi automatic .22 rifle, and shoots Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges. It's the semi automatic version of the 572 Fieldmaster, which is really the only reason I'm interested in one. I have a Fieldmaster that was given to me the day I was born, it might be fun to have the semi auto companion.

Does anyone know how to date one of these, or what to look for? Does the deflector make any difference in desirability?

My first gun was/is also a Fieldmaster. Still have it and always will. Very old one - Model 121.

I think the Speedmaster always had the deflector, but I really don't know for sure.

You might be able to date the rifle here if it was made before '72:

I appreciate the date link. Too bad I don't have the numbers off the gun. I looked at a couple today that are both...well loved, to put it very, very nicely. One had the deflector, the other didn't. I think the one without might have had the holes tapped for it, but I don't remember for sure.

I'm thinking about looking at them again tomorrow. I don't need another .22 rifle, which is why I didn't buy one today. The more I think about it, I'd really like to have the companion to my Fieldmaster though.

I had a speedmaster several years ago, hardly ever cleaned it and it shot everything I put in it very accurately. They are great 22's. I have one now in my safe that my dad gave me a few years back, he had bought it from a guy needing money and it looks as good as a new one, shows no signs of having been shot at all!

I used to have one. I loved it. Best varmit gun and plinker I ever had. I had to sell it out of state in 1993 because of the communist governor in NJ (Florio).

Moving to (America) Tennessee soon!
