Hello Blip,
The JW15 is the be all of budget 22 rimfires, from memory the early shipment retailed for $146! The Weirhrauch HW60J is the middle-top budget range, there are other Brands which are more expensive, if spending a lot of money is the key objective??
I own four Weirhrauch (3 x HW60J, 1 x HW66J CH (Classic Hunter)) The 22LR cost $1000 off TradeMe, $1400 retail, 22 Hornet $1950, 222 Rem $2400.
The Weirhrauch HW60J chambered to 222 Rem is the most accurate rifle I have ever used. Best one shot kill on a rabbit, no sighters, just one shot 242 metres, and two small goats at 267 metres. The goat shooting wasn't tidy, but they didn't see the sun go down.
If you are lucky enough to get the 222 Weirhauch, you will never look back!
Straight shooting!
Hugh
