If cost is no object and a price tag of over $600 to perhaps twice that figure is acceptable to you, a boltaction sporting rifle is probably your best choice. For many years, the outstanding rifle of this type was the legendary Winchester Model 52 Sporter, but it is no longer available. Elegant bolt-action rimfire rifles are represented by models like the Cooper Model 57M, which is priced at approximately $1,200 and the Kimber Classic that sells for around $800 to $1,200. Some of the fine sporting rifles produced by Anschutz are also in this price range. In this upper price bracket at the present time, take your choice of the Anschutz Models 1712 or 1502, Cooper Model 57M, Kimber .22 Classic, or Sako Finnfire rifles. All are of superb quality and will give outstanding performance. For example, the Cooper Model 57M must shoot a five-shot group at 50 yards that measures 1/2-inch or less with premium match ammunition before it is shipped, and the Kimber Classic must give a group of 0.4-inches or smaller. Test groups are included with these rifles when they are shipped. These are rifles for the most discriminating small-bore enthusiast from both performance and appearance standpoints. Some of the models mentioned are available in 22 WMR, 17 HMR, and 17 Mach 2 as well as in 22 LR.
