I should have bought an Anschutz right away

[silverfoxdj]

If I had some mad money it would go to one of the Anschutz's but for now playing with two CZ's is a lot of fun..

I'd like to have one for the 200 yard shoots at our range, I'm sure it will make a big difference in the groupings.

I tried to make the 1/2 challenge 3 or 4 time last year with my CZ 452 Varmint and I always miss it by a flyer or two out of 5 groups... So maybe its the rifle...or me.

I bought a +10% firnig pin spring this winter and a small flag to read the wind, that should help a bit to achieve the challenge.

This year I have the budget to buy my first Anschutz so we'll see how I shoot with it.

I must admit that for the price I paid my 452, I would be a fool to sell it.

Just have to be patient and keep your eyes open for a used Annie.I bought mine off the EE for ,$550 and the gentle man delivered it.Less than I paid for my CZ's.

That's a great deal I'd pick one up in a heartbeat at that price

Yeah there not bad but they have the lighter sporter barrel, also the forestock is narrow. Mine is the heavy 26"barrel. I have a local one available but about $100 more and it's in pristine condition. I'm tempted.

Are you waiting for a 64 MPR?

Is testing out different 22rimfires ever a waste of time though?

The one in the photo in the original post has a heavy barrel? It seems more like a standard sporter barrel. What is its OD?

This is an Anschultz love fest. I have owned many high quality 22lr rifles and the Anschultz are always predictable as being good shooters with some brand and lot of ammo. I did a big range test one time with an assortment of 22lr rifles and afterwards decided to keep my BSA martinis and sell off everything else. The BSAs that had good bores shot as well as the Anschutz. Not better but equal and I happen to like the Martini action. The best shooting gun tested happened to be an old single shot Walther target rifle. It was amazing how well it would group when shot off front and rear bags. However it had a long stroke on the firing pin so lock time was slow. It was very difficult (for me) to shoot it off hand. Long ago sold but I should have kept it for bench matches.

The rifle in the picture in the first post looks like it has a standard barrel. What's the OD?
