German .22 made in Canada?

Made by Anschutz under import contract for CIL. In the US, you'll see the exact same rifles only stamped "Savage" instead of CIL.
Generally speaking good rifles. I have a CIL Anschutz 125, made in the late 60's, and I'd put it up against a savage bolt action any day of the week for accuracy.
Downside: Tough to find parts for them. Upside: so well made and reliable, you're unlikely to ever need parts for them.
Value: Depending on the model, usually worth more as a shooter than what someone is likely to pay for it, although I'm seeing prices start to climb a bit. Anschutz freaks are Anschutz freaks, and they'll snap up anything with the right stamps.

I'll sell you mine for double whatever the going rate is
My wife bugs me every now and then to cut down on the number of .22 rifles I have kicking around, so every now and then I mention in passing that "the old Anschutz is for sale"... And it is... for double what any sane person would pay for it.
I've got repair $$ in it now, so it'll get sold at an estate auction, hopefully many, many years from now. Tracked down a replacement mag for the lost one (they take current production Weatherby mags... No, you don't want to know what those cost), and I replaced the firing pin, firing pin spring, and striker spring this winter - I was getting light strikes about 1 in 10 times).
Having a 45, maybe 50 year old rimfire that's been shot enough to wear out the firing pin and striker spring, and yet is still accurate enough to be worht the effort? Priceless.
And it's a nice, light, fairly short, well balanced easy pointer to boot.
I picked up A CIL 310 last summer. Hands down the best 22 I've owned. It shoots better than the custom 10-22 I sunk over a grand into. The "match grade" 1022 was sent packing.
As for price I paid $300. No idea if it was a good or bad deal but I'm happy and wouldn't sell it for that.

its a 64 action annie in a CIL skin. Weatherby now does that with the Mark whatever. Anschutz sells the action and barrel of the 64 to other makers, who then label it with their marks, Its a good shooter, but not a 54 action, and not collectible. Not sure why parts are hard to come by…. as there are a pile of those rifles around, a standard anni mag still fits.
Looks in nice shape. Mount a 4x scope to it and start driving tacks - don't know that model specifically, but it looks like a medium sporter weight barrel. You'll get better accuracy out of it than a heavy barrel Savage or Ruger.
