Well we can put this thread to rest as there will be no Anschutz 54 or 64 action for this ol' man.
A lovely walnut stocked CZ 457 LUX in 22 LR with a 24" barrel and iron sights was made available to me at a very reasonable price by the manager of a sporting goods store where I had a credit balance.
'Nuff said.
Cheers!
