I wish I had ended up with that Anshutz. I would have looked foolish hunting with it, but, I would have done it.
King, as a kid I fed a lot of old, moldy ammunition to the 552. I can't recall a time it ever acted up. I also had the advantage of being able to feed it anything, S,L,LR. The 241 was more sensitive to ammunition, but, it was also easy to have the bolt, which is on the bottom, rub on your arm, or whatever you were resting the gun on, which, would cause it to have a stove pipe jam.
Once you were aware of it, you could eliminate almost all your feed problems. It does spit hot brass out in the vicinity of your forearm, which, can be unpleasant in the summer. The 552 had the deflector, and dropped everything in a neat little pile.
Best,
Ted
