  Well, what would you like to know? It is made for Weatherby by Anschutz, and if I am not mistaken, it is on the Model 64 action.
  
  If you are not set on a Weatherby, I would look for a Remington 541 S, or a Browning A-Bolt...both in the used market. If you want the absolute best American made 22LR bolt action, then there is the Cooper Model 57, in various dress options.

  Yes, that is a good thing. While not supposed to be as good as the 54 actons, they are still better than most folks can shoot. I have a Anschutz "Woodchucker", in 22 WMR, made for RSR wholesale about 25 years ago. It will smack a dime everytime at 100 yards, with the right ammo, on a calm day.

  Anshutz, yes, definitely a good thing. Check the used market for both the A and W versions and may have a few extra bucks for ammo. A 54 actions is one of my dreams, but I've had the other and they're great little rifle. Good trigger, beautifully made, and as accurate as any sporter around.

  I bought one new couple years ago. Very accurate and not fussy about ammo type. Well pleased.
