Remington's 552 Viper is a semi-automatic .22 Long Rifle, and this one, serial 3065340, was made in 1993 with a 20-inch barrel and a polymer stock. The bore is bright with excellent rifling. The finish is very good with some slight speckling along the barrel, the stock is very good with minor wear, and the supplier grades the whole rifle very good.

A 1990s semi-auto rimfire with a polymer stock is a knockabout rifle: light, simple, and happy riding behind the seat of a truck for a ground squirrel afternoon or a tin-can session at a gravel pit. The slight speckling on the barrel is cosmetic and the bore is where it counts. In Utah a rifle like this transfers with photo identification, Form 4473 and the state check through the Bureau of Criminal Identification; there is no state permit, registration or waiting period, and federal law sets 18 as the dealer minimum for rifles.
