    http://jga.anschuetz-sport.com/index...uktShow=detail IMO probably an Anschutz rifle, mag fed bolt action. Anschutz rifles are legendary for their accuracy but they aren't cheap. I have an Anschuetz model 54 sporter in .22 LR since 1973, I paid $350 for it back then which was about double the typical .22 LR rifle price at that time. It does however have legendary Anschuetz accuracy.

    CZ should also make a quality weapon. http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/CZ-455-Varmint/

    IMO tube feed sucks as it's slow to reload, I'd go with something that has a detachable magazine.

    I have a Ruger 10/22 Magnum but they aren't cheap these days. The Henry rifles has an action that is as smooth as butter and the prices are reasonable. Many people have high regards for the CZ rifles but they are magazine fed.

    savage MK2, magfed but about as accurate as you can get, has an accutrigger, and around $200.

    Marlin makes a tube fed model with an accutrigger but their quality has gone to shit since remington took over production. I'm a marlin guy and there ain't no way in hell I would buy one

    Mine is a wood stocked, pre-accutrigger, detachable box magazine, Savage 93GL. It is the only dedicated left hand bolt action I own. I put an inexpensive Walmart scope on it and sighted her in for Winchester Super X 40 grain JHP's.
    It cost me a right around $250 back in 2006 if I remember right.
    Off a bench it will shoot 2" groups at 100 yards. That's good enough for me. It's my farm varmint rifle. That and a scoped NEF Handi Rifle 22 Hornet, a Ruger Single Six 22 magnum, and a 12 ga single shot shotgun are my barnyard tools.

    Taurus/Rossi Circuit Judge .22 LR, with .22 Mag. Cylinder (convertible). Around $529. It'll shoot anything in .22 LR of Mag. Holds 9 shots.

    I just bought one and it comes up and points naturally. Great fit and feel.

    In .22 Mag, I have the Ruger "Convertible" revolver with the two cylinders and it's a sweetheart with either. It is paired with a Marlin 881 tube-fed bolt-action in .22 LR, a Ruger 10/22 SA, and a Marlin 983 tube-fed bolt-action in .22 Mag.
    With the exception of the 10/22, all the rifles are accurate enough for me to do a head-shot on a squirrel at 50 yds. The 983 (the Mag) can nail a groundhog or coyote at 80-100 yds. More with a good rest. All 3 rifles are scoped as well and, despite the tube magazines, are fun for shooting or hunting.
