Get a Leupold Ultralight 3-9 AO as a just about perfect "nice .22" scope. The Anschutz 54 sporters out shot the Jap 52 (example of one) that I have had, but so did my Marlin 39A Mountie. Maybe I just got a less than perfect one or did not find just the right ammo. IIRC, mine was branded Winchester, but the box should make no difference.

Maybe yours had an issue. I have one of the Win's, looked at and should have bought, a second. Mine can pretty easily put 5 in a quarter inch at 50yds with several types of high quality target ammo. And pretty much anything short of cheap bulk ammo at around a half inch. See the target below - and that was just was just going from one ammo to the other with only shooting some of the Thunderbolts in between - i believe if i'd have shot a second and third group of each after the first ones, they'd have shown improvement. One of the last rifles I'd ever get rid of honestly.
