From what I've seen, the Brownings action is essentially identical to the Winchesters.The Winchester came out in the 1920's and were discontinued in the 1960'sI don't believe the Browning came out until 1990.My guess would be that Browning saw a market for a good quality .22.I have seen a few Winchester 52 sporters, but I have no idea about their pedagree.Most of them came from the factory as target /match setups with long barrels and vernier sights.The Browning is a fine gun, but there's this mystique that goes with the Winchester 52...and the Winchester sells for 3 times what the Browning goes for.
Browning worked with Winchester in designing several firearms, including the model 1886 rifle. Click on the 'John Browning' link on this page to read a short biography of him and his designs.
