Thread: The best "new generation" 22 RF

We now have the Lithgow Cross-over LA101, the Sako Quad, the Weihrach HW66 and probably one or two other top end 22's (maybe the the Tikka Tx1) that are all relatively new to the patch once soley occupied by the Anschutz Model 54 and Remington 40x's - there are plenty of other good 22's out there, CZ's etc etc, but here I'm talking of rifles that have really sophisticated triggers and firing mechanisms that will deliver "match" or benchrest quality accuracy with a top quality barrel.

So who (i.e which one) is capable of taking on the Annie 54 on a level playing field - we've seen that @Kiwi Greg has made a pretty good fist of it on a Lithgow . . . .

Everyone knows that the jw15 is the best rifle. Finest technology.

Sorry, TOZ beats the Norinco by a margin. Accuracy is awesome in both but you can use a TOZ with gloves on....

I was very disapointed with my sako quad and have gone back to my cz452 that out shoots it and eats a wider range of ammo, I did find Kiwi Gregs photos very interesting so ill be watching this thread with interest

You maybe talking about some very high end .22 RF but there are plenty of 22 rifles out there for a lot less in the money stakes that will match them.
Some may even out shoot them on the day.

Wolf in sheeps clothing would have ro be norinco em32 or whatever it is

I was lucky enough to get an Annie 54 last week, all I can say is OMG it can shoot

I modified a tuner to put on it took it to the indoor range & it just shot

Took it outside last Saturday & used the tuner to tune it for about 5-6 different bullets, all shot very well

Used it in the howling wind with the cheaper ammo to win the first of our fun summer series shoot on Sunday arvo

We are building a more suitable stock for it at the moment.

The 5 shot magazine is a real PITA to get in & out, going to get some 10s as well.

The trigger is the only let down with the Lithgow, it works well but could be lighter, it is a hunting rifle not a competition rifle after all

Expensive for sure but some big advantages from using the Rem 700 platform, for example triggers and stocks. For a hunting platform it would be nice to see flush fit mags but otherwise it looks pretty interesting.

There's a massive thread on them at Snipers Hide.
@res interesting that you had a bad experience with your Sako Quad. Mine is very nice and accurate, however I have aftermarket barrels

I miss my old EM. Was such a good rifle. I'd buy another one in a heart beat if I could find one. I custom native stock and a really nice scope and it would be an awesome rifle. The chinese wood is rubbish, that was my only complaint.

There's one on TM at the moment @Brennos

Anschutz with the 54 action out shoots my Mod 2s all day on the in door range, anschutz cheaper action is shit, but the barrels are good, My Weirach .17 is very nice, but shouldn't have sold my Anschutz .17, was a shit load lighter and very accurate.

bad would be over stating it, but when you spend that much coin and it proforms worse than what you were replacing it is disapointing. I could just have got a "bad" one and have a "good"(and admitadly tweeked) Cz. The quads new owner loves it and calls it the most acurate rifle he has ever had, just goes to show that when your chasing that last little bit of acuracy that we are really just spliting hairs as far as most people are concerned

agreed

My annie with the cheap action is easy a really good shooter so is my walther bullpup

Browning T-bolt is a freakin laser. Very accurate and love the straight pull design - It's silky smooth.
