I bought mine off Reloaders about a year ago and that one in the link is the first I have seen them stock since. About the same time I bought mine Serious Shooters claimed they had a few due. I never saw them listed on their website although they may have been presold.

The only other place I saw listing one was a gun shop in Tauranga who had it on Tardme. The listing claimed it to be near new but by the serial number said otherwise, putting its age before a mod that Lithgow made to overcome a minor feeding problem.

Most accurate 22rf I own and I have Walther and Anshutz as well. Before I bought the Lithgow I tried CZ 455 Varmint and Weihrauch HW Production. Neither would match the Lithgow for accuracy and in the case of the CZ nor build quality.
Their only weakness is the trigger which although very crisp is non adjustable and heavy at 1.5 kg. I fitted an after market spring to mine which halved the pull. For a bit of bling I fitted a stainless steel bolt shroud and a SS bolt knob. They match the cerakote finish colour.

As pointed out the T1x is well worth a look.

The 1416 will cost similar to a Lithgow and is their lesser Match 64 action rather than the Match 54 series.
