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....

agreed

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.

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.

I did look as soon as I postd. Have saved it, might throw a bid on, the EM tax is real though, i think I paid about $350 for mine brand new.

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

If you ever grew sick of it, please let me know first

Will do.... & oh good luck with that, the way its shooting it would have to be replaced with something pretty bloody special
