Hmm I just found the sellers ad on page 1 of the Rimfire EE. He had 5 and the one pictured above is the one that I purchased so no, you won't see that one listed. The seller still has a German made bolt and a Japanese semi-auto for sale.

Normally I don't like funky-looking things, but I really like the Savage BSEV:
cabelas.ca/product/21878/savage-bsev-series-bolt-action-rifles-w-accutrigger
Now on sale at Cabelas, regular $700, now for $560.
I have one, and I love it. I've shot 3/4" at 100 yards using Win subsonic - but finding a windless day in the Ottawa area is pretty much phoquing hopeless.

Just breaking in mine do you find the action a little stiff or not as smooth as a 452 ?
I didn't read the whole thread... but the title is "high end" .22's and most of the comments from the masses are about Browning T-Bolts or CZ's or Savage... none of which are even remotely "high end" rimfire rifles... I get that these are what most people have experience with, but these hardly qualify.

Hear you there. Think someone mentioned this in the first 10 posts or so.
Have seen some pretty pricey target guns at the range, sure they are into them for $5-10K. Mostly 12lb guns that a person spends another 2K on to tighten groups up 1/10". Some decent shooters that have entirely too pretty wood and thus are also very pricey. Something like the Annie actioned Weatherbys.
My 22's definitely dont qualify....a Rem 513 Targetmaster, a 452 Varmit, and a Browning Abolt 22mag. They all shoot great, better than me, so i dont see the point personally with pushing it further......further than the nut behind the trigger is capable.
Generally, I've found all the new rifles I've owned to be stiff and not smooth at the beginning. They start to get real nice after about 3 bricks worth of shooting. My 455 was getting smoother but it has been at the smith's shop for over a month so no further use. I could drag a fingernail across the top of the bolt and feel/hear the high frequency roughness from the tooling. It may be worth running a dremel with a polishing pad over all the bolt surfaces if you'd like to help it along for cycling smoothness.

But that isn't the 1727f. The issue with the 1727f isn't the action, it's the stock, which doesn't work as well on a benchrest as a true benchrest stock like on the above gun. But the issue with the above one is that it isn't a repeater. This is the main problem I have with Anschutz. They make great guns, but they are all a bit too specialized. Same problem with my 1827f (which is a fantastic shooter, BTW. Just took it to the range today for the first time.) The stock is obviously designed for biathlon shooting and not much for shooting off a rest.

Wow-I like it! Now the crazy thing is to see how much for this one!!!
Don't do it!!! Lol, start shooting that beauty you already have!!
Your right. ANSCHÜTZ do not make Swiss Army knives. They are all pretty much purpose built for the type of shooting it's designed for with a very few exceptions.
The F27 is based on the same design as the 1827 and the 1727 (same family).
Are the action screw locations the same for the F27 and 1727F 22lr? That fancy aluminum chassis may be a nice starting point for a custom stock on the 1727F repeater action...
But this one is "Shiny"
And wickedly nice wood !!!!
High end?? Besides the 54 Anschutz, we have in the used roster [when you can find them] [some can be found new]
Suhl 150 Standard, Remington 40X, Remington 37, Winchester 52 B,C,D,E, Walther KKM, Feinwerkbau, etc.
Then a definite step down, but still decent rifles: Anschutz 64, Sako Quad, Remington 541S & early T, CZ 452,453, 455, Certain BRNO rifles, Winchester 75, etc.
All the rest fall into "basic rifles" with varying capabilities. [You may not agree, but that's your prerogative]
You want the best....you spend the cash. A "high end" 22 rimfire with match ammo it likes should shoot into .25" or less at 50M for 10 shots. Dave.
