Well my little prize finally arrived at the shop. Flat out GORGEOUS Weatherby MarkXXII in .22LR. Sure enough, German made by Anschutz, who apparently makes such a good rifle I cannot even spell it correctly. The test target was shot at 55 meters (whatever a meter is...) and was 5 shots tucked nicely into a four leaf clover (appropriate) just under 1/2". With me shooting it, it will likely never shoot such a group again... but at least its got the raw talent.

The receiver is groved for your run of the mill latch on rimfire rings. Personally, I think anyone who would put such type rings on such a fine rifle would 'teach his grandmother to suck eggs.

The receiver is also drilled and tapped for bases. I've raped every single base/ring guide I could get my hands on... nothing shown for the Mark XXII. Anybody have a clue who makes a base for it?

OR..... am I being overzealous in my damnation of clamp-on rimfire rings? Any I should consider....

I'm scoping the gun with a Leupold... Either a 4x28 or 2-7x32..... I can't make my mind up. Help.
