dapper Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hi Guys, I have just applied for my FAC and I am really intersted in Target shooting. I already belong to a target club who will be supporting my application so I dont see an issue. So I am on the look out for a .22 rimfire Match rifle with rear sights for Bench, free standing rifle. Anschutz or similar. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Well its Anschutz or Anschutz really. If you want a good rifle thats a fraction of the cost go for a BSA Martini International MkV. Just as good many would say but not a fashionable choice any more. However, because of that you can pick one up for around £100-150 It will shoot a lot better than you can and it won't break the bank. There were quite a few still being used last year at the NSRA meeting At Bisley this year, and they are top level shooters. By the time you decide you want to upgrade you will have a better idea of what you want next. A new Anschuz is going to cost around £1,600 and even secondhand they still fetch over £1,000 depending on age and model. There are so many different models you are not likely to choose well in any case. My advise is buy a BSA and learn to shoot first, worry about the rest in a few years time.

dapper Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hi Vince, Thanks for the detailed reply. Yes at that moment I will purchase a used rifle. I have been attending the club for just about 12 months now.using a standard CZ bolt action rifle. Getting good results too.

macca Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hi, I shoot benchrest rimfire a lot. I use a Vostok CM2 made back in the 70's. Shot 200 and 198 on Saturday. Cant go past the barrel in these rifles. I believe they are being made again at a fraction of the price of an Anschutz. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I know where there is an Anschutz coming up for sale shortly. I will find out the details on monday. I believe it is a 1407 Match 54 action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
