Most accurate sporting .22 ???

Hey all,

As it stands, who currently manufactures the most accurate sporting style (not benchrest type) .22 rifle? I'm assuming anschutz?

I think you're going to have to include a price range.

If price is no object one of the more easily lifted and carried Annies, Coopers or Browning T bolts would likely be my choice.

Next down would be pretty well any version of CZ bolt that fits you well and which catches your eye.

Down in the budget category I'll toss in my vote for the Savage Mk II line of guns in whichever stock style you prefer. And if you want a nice single shot gun the Mk I is a real sleeper.

If you're looking at used as an option you'd be amazed at what a BSA Martini can do with the proper ammo to suit the barrel. But if you bought one and removed the peep sights and fitted it with a stock I'm sure folks with pitchforks and tar would be at your door rapidly.

On the fun side it's not fancy but my basic Henry H001 has always made me look a lot better than I think I am. It won't compete with benched rifles but if you like to shoot free standing or only with your elbows on the bench so it's you and not the rifle and can live with real world results it's surprisingly good.

I have a BSA martini with a no 8 sight.....and its a tack driver. Folks at the club comment how quiet it is even with stingers....maybe its the Sheffield steel used in the barrel and the rifling.

America took some gold medals 1936 Olympics with the Winchester 52. Germany went while hog producing its own Model 37?(Mauser) but I don't think thier shooter lineup was at thier best.

Nothing beats an Annie these days.

Canada won the English Match in Melbourne Olympics in 1956 with a Wiinchester 52, (Gerry Ouellette), with a possible 600-60X!
 
You are asking a chorus of jokers who won't be much help, although they will be entertaining along the way.

Write to the Shooting Federation of Canada and ask them. If anyone should be able to recommend makes and models of winning rifles, it will be their Technical Director or Head Coach.
 
A few questions.

Price range is a good point. The Browning T bolts are often overlooked in a discussion of accurate rimfires. Why? There must be a good reason.

My Sako quad and tikka outshoot my Anschutz- at least with cheap ammo like cci minimag
And a tikka is half the price

The comparison has little meaning unless the model of Anschutz is identified. Is it a 64 or a Flobert?

Is it a sporter?

These guys will be able to pass on evaluation of sporter rimfire rifles? Do they spend a lot of time on them?

Time Precision make a .22 Sporter.

Indeed. These could be very hard to find. Has anyone seen a picture of one?
 
I have seen 'Time Precision' target .22's for sale ... not their sporters though. They produce pretty good products - Rich DeSimone's 1.564″ five-shot 1000-yard group record was done with a CPS-SLV centerfire action. This is the same action that Time Precision continues to produce. I have one of these in 7/08 that is in need of a proper stock. They are not well known.
