What to buy ? Anschutz 1416, 1710, or 1712

[6789boat]

I am buying my first bot action 22lr and I noticed that the Anschutz 1416 is never mentioned as I have read many post on several forums. Is there a specific read why I shouldn't buy a 1416 versus a 1710 or 1712 rifle. I will be using it for some combination of target, silhouette and hunting. Thank you.

Because the 1416 is a 64 action based rifle and we Anschutz shooters are all snobs..... 8)

The 54 based rifles are the Crème de la Crème........

No need to torture yourself..... Buy yourself a 1712 and quit fretting....

You will never regret having the best...... ;D

Plus one on the Annie 54,..... they are in a class of their own.

I've got both, and speaking from experience...... get the 1712!!!! You will never regret, under any circumstance, buying a 1712.

I might as well get on the wagon too! I have a 1712, get the best and forget the rest! You will never regret the purchase.

Do you wanna just cry once or cry a lot of times. Buy a 54 and cry only once ......
