Weatherby's is made by Anschutz.... and they get my vote... especially because I won one! I'll sell my opinion for a free rifle!

Is this vote supposed to be based on best value or best gun regardless of price?

Best gun irregardless of price and I think few would disagree would be the Anschutz . I am polling based on Design and Retail Price

I have several 22 rifles. My go to hands down dead accurate 22 bolt action is a Kimber of Oregon model 82. If you shop you can find a good used one for around $700. Thatis a lot of money, but you are truly owning the Cadillac.The Anschutz is in the same class.

I have not shot or handled the Sako. I did not like the stocks on their older rimfires.

I did buy a LH CZ, and for the money it was a fine rifle. The LH was not available with the set trigger. IMO the set trigger in the RH rifle would be a good choice for an inexpensive rifle.

If you could find an older Remington 541 or even a 581, then you would have a fine rifle. Those are the only ones I would consider on your list.

Find a Kimber of Oregon 82, and spend the extra money. They are truly a piece of art, and second to none in accuracy. Tom.

Actually a local gunshop has one for 850 and the stock looks incredible with just beautiful grain and figureand it appears to be extremely well made...I didn't know what kind of track record these rifles had. He has had it on the rack for over a year.

I would pick the Ruger but I must admit that I have almost no expierience with any of the others. I have a 10/22, a couple Little Favorites and an old Remington clip fed LH bolt action 22 that I have had for 30 years. BTW I just had a local Smith find me a new stock for the Remington. The guy who had it before me cut part of the forend off and insalled a bolt to hold onto with a hook hand. I have not seen it since he got it back.

Ruger 10/22s are great guns. They are like Honda Civics... if you don't like something on it.. there is a part to replace and totally customize it avavilable cheap. They shoot fairly well too.. espeically once you replace the factory barrel.

I have had, for MANY years a Ruger 77/22. It never really shot all that great.... with its prefered target ammo you could get 5 shots under a silver dollar at 50 yards. Good enough to kill a squirrel, but man .22s are supposed to be deadly. I put a Volquartsen barrel on, channeled out the stock to float the barrel, bedded the action and had it parkerized to match the look of the barrel better.... it will shoot a whole box of 50 rounds of just about anything through a single hole not much larger than a pencil eraser at 50 yards now. I swear... just something about the barrels on Rugers it seems....

If those are the ones the CMP had, they're good guns, but good luck finding parts for it should you need them.
