I have the Ruger and it shoots pretty good, but, if I were going to spend the money you plan on, I'd go with the Kimber Model 82. My dad has the 82 Custom Classic and it shoots circles around my Ruger. But, there is quite a bit of difference in price between the two. I'm sure that the Anschutz is just as good, but I don't have any personal experience with it. Good luck on your search.
