Here is an extremely accurate 22lr that I used in benchrest and 22lr class competitions. It absolutely eats lapua polar biathlon. It has been d&t to mount a modern scope. It has the original Palma style sight and also the palm grip for offhand shooting. It has a 36x bausch and lomb sitting on top that can be included for an extra $400. Price for the rifle and palm grip with the accessories that i have will be $1100+shipping... add the $400 if you want the scope too... if insurance is wanted, it's will be on the buyer. Will get pictures up ASAP as it is at my soon to be ex wife's house atm.

what brand is it?

Anschutz called Army Major Lones Wiggers the "Lion of Finland" after he won so many world and Olympic championships! He ran the Sniper School in RVN when I went thru it in 1969.
 
Yes it is a valmet, also known as a finnish lion... i will be taking it to the range this weekend to hopefully get some groups to show. This rifle is very accurate. Im only trying to sell it due to funding a divorce

Has it got a dovetail groove for a pic rail on the receiver? How’s the trigger, is it bedded, single shot? Thanks.
 
It's has a side dovetail for a Palma style sight. The trigger is absolutely amazing, and these rifles don't come bedded and with the shape of the action, im not sure it's needed. Yes a single shot. I will get more pictures asap
 
More pictures will help ,
I wanted and finally acquired one after a few years , beautiful finish , nice ergonomics , nice two stage trigger , and very accurate
 
Guys here are the groups I shot today, can't remember which is which. But lapua polar biathlon, lapua long range, rws r50, rws rifle match shot the best groups.these were all at 50yds and you can tell there was a bit of wind... i just kept the same poa... fiocchi 340 biathlon and eley pistol x did next best
