Hello, I am currently doing some research on high end 22's for my next purchase. Just wondering if I've missed anything.
I would like something with iron sights, and so far the only models I have found are the Anshutz 1710 and Cooper 57-M (which I only assume is available with irons, as sights are listed in options on their web site). I really like what I've read about the 1710, except for the 7+ lb weight.
I don't believe Kimber makes anything with iron sights. Are there any other high end 22's that come stock with iron sights? How difficult is it to install irons on a rifle (obviously this question is for smiths, I wouldn't dare tackle it!).
Every google search for high end 22's seems to be about 10/22's, Marlins and Savages. I guess people have a different opinion than me about what "high end" means, which I don't believe to be a relative term.
Any advice would be appreciated.
