[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 292138, member: 4964"] I found an Anchutz achiever a couple of years ago. You can find them for a good price. It has an adjustable length of pull with the inserts in the butt stock. That thing shoots so good, when I was shooting benchrest I used it as a backup for my sporter weight rifle. I mean it will drive tacks. I have actually shot flies off the backer boards at 50 yds for fun. It weighs like 6 pounds scoped with a 6x24x50 Sightron on it. That being said, if I couldn't find one of those I would get an Encore. My 22lr bbl will shoot like nobody's business. When it's varmint season on comes the 22-250 bbl, deer season comes the .280. I had Steve Stratton build me a floated forend, and replaced the springs to get a really nice trigger pull. I love the idea of the rifle. I am sure some will say it is not the most accurate in the world, however with a little work they can be real shooters. As your children grow, you can get different bbls for it and use the 22lr for practice. Nothing like shooting your actual rig for practice. Single shot teaches first shot accuracy. My dad, when I was coming up, gave me one bullet when I was in the woods. I learned back then you better make that first one count [/QUOTE]
