Greetings,
Figured I'd check in and see if anyone around here has had any experience with one of these rifles. If you have please share :) I'm considering buying one.

I had one til recently. They are limited edition because of the stock. They only made a few and sold out fast so are pretty rare. The action/barrel is a 64 (1416). It was a good little 22. Awesome trigger and comfy adjustable stock. Annie magazines are not cheap, but to can modify a Savage mag to fit. Mine was very accurate and loved CenterX and Eley Yellow box. Only reason I sold it was to build a 40x 22 to match my competition rifle exactly.

This was the original version.

They sold out of these and re-released it as the one you listed, because they found a few extra stocks to put them in. I know the guys at Anschutz North America and they and I agree that OG stock is a little bit better than the newer.

If you are interested, I have a buddy in Flagstaff that owns one and doesn't shoot his anymore.

If you aren't set on a Annie, check out the new Bergara B14R. I recently picked one up, and I am very impressed. Much more accurate than my CZ 455 Trainer.

I ended up picking up a Cooper 57M Classic and a Swarovski 3-10x42 Rimfire scope. A really nice Squirrel gun and fun to casually poke holes in paper with :)

I have heard those Cooper's are pretty sweet. Squirrels are not gonna be happy.
