Anschutz 1416 or CZ or ????

[rsj223]

It won't hurt when you have it in your hands..

Yeah I know maybe I want them all

Yeah I know just thinking about doing it all again hurts

Yes it can be a PITF but still you have to make a choice and get going, we can all say buy this buy that this is better because etc etc but at the end of the day they all represent a risk of some sort as to whether you like them or not, just chose the one you like the most and go from there, as I said if it's not what you thought it would be sell it and buy something else (we've all had to go through the same thing and some have been successes and others failures, such is life - move on and hope for better results next time.

Good luck.

I promises to decide and get on with it

Just an update, still haven't got a replacement yet but went to the LGS held them all again and still sitting with The Lithgow, Anschutz 1416dhb and a cheaper item the Ruger American

I need to practice going to a gun store and NOT buying something.

No chance I buy at least some ammo just because

[bigfellascott]

Which one do you like the most and can afford.

[rsj223]

Ok Ruger will save about $300 (more ammo) but no guarantee how accurate, Annie should be the most likely to group well and last a long time? and cost me another $300ish, Lithgow... AUS should group well but feed crap even on the $$$, as I say they all feel ok to me dont like the new CZ looked and felt Sako
I have a Ruger in 17hmr and is pretty good as most 17"s are I think the more I talk the harder it gets.
I think I'm 50/50 Ruger and Annie

[bigfellascott]

Heads Annie, Tails Ruger

What about the new Ruger American Rimfire Target model - are they shooting any better than the originals?

[rsj223]

Didn't know there was a target model, cant find it in Oz just USA but looks great

[rsj223]

Cant find it on the Nioa site I think there the only one that brings them in?

[Gwion]

Scrap the lot and go Sako!

[rsj223]

Found one but didn't like the feel.

Which one: Finnfire II or Quad?

[rsj223]

Only the Fin I think the Quad might be a bit pricey for me

That new TARGET offering from Ruger does look interesting.
Never owned an Annie 22 which wasn't accurate. Have owned a number that wouldn't feed or eject without modification.
My new LA101 has set the benchmark...I'll say again, it is the best feeding and ejecting 22 I've owned. More accuracy testing lately in good conditions with a 20X scope has produced several 10X5 shot strings at 50 with Center X & Rifle Match (excellent lot number) averaging in the .3's". IME, few production 22's, regardless of cost, can do that.
(The LA101 has had a trigger job & re-cut crown so not entirely stock )

[Gwion]

Fair enough...

Gee I want to buy your 101, looking at selling it soon

[rsj223]

got on to Nioa today the Ruger is on order (200 of them) with 91 pre ordered they wouldn't give me a RRP so onto the LGS to find out tomorrow
My thought s are, order the Ruger target just because and see just how low my LGS will go on a used Bruno 22 they have or just the basic Ruger American
Thanks bladeracer hope its the right price

If you finish up with one of those Ruger Target versions, I would be most interested to hear your impressions.
Sorry, but my two LA101's aren't going anywhere - Currently in the process of moving on a few rifles including a 17XX Anschutz Custom which would pay for half a dozen Lithgows - Does that tell you something !!!

I'm interested in it myself, although I already have the Compact.

[rsj223]

I have the compact in 17hmr an love it

I've got an MDT LSS-22 chassis en-route for mine, but I'm thinking the Target might be a better choice for the chassis.
Let us know if you find out a price on them - I might have to order one myself.

Whats you thoughts on the what looks like a shorter barrel for target use?

[bladeracer]

The MDT chassis on the Ruger Compact.

[NWhunter]

Annie,s are overrated in 22 spotters they live off their target rifles reputation. I would take a Brno model 2 over a Annie any day

I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion but may I ask how many Anschutz 54 sporters you have owned ??

[bladeracer]

I seem to have screwed up and deleted my response to this.

I've emailed Ruger asking if the Rimfire Target has a sport or competition chamber but no response so far.

.22LR only needs 18" of barrel at most, anything longer just increases the time that the bullet can be effected by the shooter.

I have my name (and deposit) on one of them but it'll be a few months away apparently.

[rsj223]

Ordered a Ruger american target .22 but could take up to 2 months to get here so the LGS has a CZ452 HB for about $850 used what your thoughts on this until the Roger hits my hands
