[QUOTE="Chokoloskee Joe, post: 2968308, member: 110441"] I don't see what seriousness has to do with it, but ok! As to the conversation at hand, sure a Ruger out of the box is not as good as an Anschutz! I think everybody knows that, but fixing the problems on a lesser quality rifle does not obviate doing so even if you could buy a MUCH better quality rifle. Most guys I know, bought the Ruger 77/22 because they like how it looked and that it was a full sized hunting style rifle, something not common when it first made an appearance. Same thing as the Ruger Mini-14, it just looked great and people loved them even though they didn't shoot so well. Bill Ruger was a marketing genius and knew what people would like in terms of style. AS to other rimfire rifle options that shoot well and don't cost two grand plus like an Anschutz or a Vudoo, my vote would be a CZ 457 MTR or a Tikka T1X. All the ones I have actually shot or shot against punch WAY higher than their cost. Coincidentally, I have a CZ455 with a Match barrel off an MTR that shoots better than my Anschutz. [/QUOTE]
