Remington Model 552 Speedmaster .22 S/L/LR Semi-Auto Rifle, 23 inch Barrel, Tubular Magazine, Blued/Black
The Remington Model 552 Speedmaster is a full-size American-made semi-automatic .22 rimfire known for cycling .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle without user adjustment. This Standard variant features a 23 inch blued barrel, an aluminum-alloy receiver, and a fixed under-barrel tubular magazine with a stated 15+1 capacity. Patent roll-marks and practical open sights round out a classic smallbore design.
Its ability to run three rimfire lengths interchangeably stands out for versatility. The rifle retains its original open-sight setup with an unhooded front post and an adjustable rear leaf with elevator, supporting precise zeroing across loads and distances. The tubular magazine uses a side loading port with a knurled inner-tube cap and a brass-colored follower window for quick visual checks.
Construction pairs a blued carbon-steel barrel with a black-finished aluminum-alloy receiver for a durable, lightweight balance. The simple blowback action and right-side ejection underline the Speedmaster’s straightforward reliability. A cross-bolt safety provides familiar, positive control.
The hardwood stock has a straight comb and clean, uncheckered surfaces, with a 13.5 inch length of pull that suits a wide range of shooters. Factory roll-marks on the barrel and receiver include patent numbers 2,675,638 and 2,757,702, adding clear identification to this Speedmaster’s lineage.
