I'm in the market for a .22 sporter that is accurate, nice looking (in the "classic" sense- that is walnut and blued steel and no nasty roll-over monte carlo cheek pieces and some such), handy to carry, factory iron sights (harder and harder to come by and so I may have to forego them), sling swivel studs installed and priced not much over $800.00 or so and hopefully (much ) less. Ones I've been considering are the Anschutz 1416 DKL, the Sako Finnfire Hunter, the Ruger 77/22, the CZ 452 LUX, the Remington 504/547 "Custom", the Winchester 52 repos and (maybe, if affordable and most likely used for that reason), Kimber and Cooper variants. In other words, a classic squirrel hunting rig!
Any and all inputs much appreciated.
