They are a very nice looking gun and do use an Anschutz 64 Sporter action. A friend has one, and I have shot it. It feels and looks like a centerfire gun. The barrel is skinny, and the trigger pull fairly hefty (5 lbs??). We have not done a lot of head to head shooting but with target ammo I seem to easily be able to out shoot it with my Savage BTVS. The XXII does a little better with HV ammo, but I still think I can edge it out. My Savage is pillar bedded, with a heavy barrel, and the trigger pull adjusted down to about 12 oz, so perhaps not a totally fair competition.
Short story is that is very good quality and looks nice, but, don't expect Anschutz Model 54 Target Action accuracy.
I have a mark xxii in 17hmr and it's fantastic. I haven't shot it off of a bench yet since it has only been used to shoot gophers, but the test target was a 5 shot group at 55 yards that created a ragged hole and measured .4 inches end to end. So easily a sub moa rifle.
