Seems to me that Profit Rivers Anschutz pricing is the best in Canada, a Weatherby is an Annie with upgraded wood. Kimbers will be very tough to find esp. unfired. Coopers ,I think are your best bet. I have a couple. FS
Tough choice, but...
Like you, wanted to treat myself so bought a Kimber SVT before Kimber quit making 22lr. Shoots like a dream! Some stores may still have new ones in stock in Canada. I have heard of but never held a Cooper. I did look at the Weatherby but did not like the tactical bolt knob on a "fine" gun and it did not fit/feel as nice as the Kimber. Up to you. Enjoy whatever you get!

If your willing to go to the cost level of a Cooper your really should look beyond the 64 actioned Anschutz to the better 54 action. It really is a much better piece and worth the additional price.
Prophet River can order one in for you, last I checked for similar money to the Jackson Squirrel rifle.
The Anschutz wood might not be as pretty, but you won't find a better shooter outside of a custom BR gun.
As an aside, Stiller will be making a 40x clone action this year. If you wanted to go all-out on a custom sporter that would be a great way to start.

Prophet River has very nice Coopers for what you are buying, the problem I have is I want all the high end options and it would cost at least $3600 for my Cooper. There is so little high end 22rf to buy from anymore that your very limited in choice, if your lucky you could find a Mint rimfire from yesteryear, but doubtful. And please don't by a new Browning T-Bolt if you ever handled an original it will leave you feeling sick! But they are great shooters just not the same hand built guns from Belgium.If you like a semi try to locate an old Weatherby clip fed made in Itally their gorgeous and accurrate. In the End buy a Cooper from Clay and you will never regret it. good luck Dale in T-Bay
