Can confirm, a good Annie will deliver. This one is picky about ammo, but a tuner makes it behaveFun fact, this is one of the ones I re-barreled, but just with another factory Annie barrel in this case. Only did two sessions of tuner testing since the tuner was supposed to be bored out and fitted to a custom, but that project is severely delayed due to the shipping damage mentioned previously. Never did bore out the tuner so I suppose I'll keep playing with it on this rifle, and try the Midas + it liked so much without the tuner.
All groups shot at tuner setting 1-19/20 were 0.3's or better, with only one group out of 16 going slightly above 1/2" at a disagreeable tuner setting.
For .22LRGUY, I shoot monthly silhouette matches with my Anschütz rifles, and have been trying to find a less expensive load than Midas + to run, since I can't use a tuner there. Eley sport was "good enough" but I wouldn't be happy with any HV stuff. These really aren't the kind of rifle to get if that's the kind of ammo you'll be shooting. I'd take an Annie to a gopher patch (where in Ontario are they?) but I'd hesitate to go through the squirrel woods with one. I've got a CZ for that duty.
Hi Rabid~thanks for the input. There are none in Ontario of course, but WestJet and I have an arrangement.
I try to get to S. Alberta every year, and the rough plan for the next gopher trip is the spring of 2018. I have my 452 living in Alberta at the moment, and it's a fine gopher gun...just hoping a TT would make the cut with HV ammo in case I wanted to try it out there. Truth is, I'd likely be just as content leaving it here in Ontario where I'd use it more, and wouldn't mind plinking with garden variety, CCI SV/SK Standard-grade ammo.Plinking in style that is.
