I was looked for a high end 22 recently and considered the Cooper and the Annie. I ended up with the Cooper, wood and metal fit and finish is top shelf,trigger is very good and easily adjustable, could not ask for better accuracy with mid grade target ammo. The rather plain wood and European stock style of the Annie did not appeal to me.

I also ended up with a used LVT and agree that it would not be my first choice as a squirrel rifle, love it for range use.
