I am a slow learner. I have owned three Anschutz 54 Sporters. Two shot really well, the other not so much with the ammo tried. I sold all three for the same reason. That **** rollover comb is not walk about hunting friendly to me, and the Americanized stock had not been introduced.
A few years ago, I bought a Remington 511 (detachable magazine repeater) in a pawn shop for $40 in really nice condition. It is the same gun as the 541-S with a working man stock and a bit longer barrel. It shoots as good as the best of the 54 Sporters that I owned and way cheaper. I don't think this is unusual. An old beater 510 single shot that I inherited shoots just as well. A Junior Target 5??that I bought in the early 60s won a lot of local matches against Ballards, Stevens, and Winchesters. I would go with the Remington and spend the rest on ammo.
Good luck,
Jack
