Anyone have one? I think it would be a decent little gun to keep in the car( trunk) with a few 25 round mags. No recoil, semi light weight, and decent round count. Plus ammo doesn't weight much. Not looking for a huge knock down type gun, more of shoot a few rounds to get the bad guys head down and I run :) get home style. Thanks
 
Don't have one, but I've been thinking a out doing the same thing. Want to find a way to put a folding kak brace on there.

I have one. I prop it up on the car window sill whenever I feel threatened by the saggy pickup driving thugs down at Cook Out. ;)

Just kiding! I actually just mounted a scope on it and I can't wait to go sight it in. Maybe this weekend.

I do like your idea though. This (without the can) in a small case and a couple of 25rd magazines wouldn't take up much room in the car.

I picked an similar Anschutz piece a few months ago from a retired silhouette shooter. Mine likes match .22 but shooting from the "splayed frog" position is challenging.
 
Tapco archangel maybe and ditch the stock for a brace
I had a Charger a while back that I dropped in an Axiom stock. I just milled the tube smooth and threw the blade on there. Worked great. You could probably do the same with the Archangel- pretty sure the fake buffer tube is plastic.
 
I had one years ago outfitted with a decent quality 4x scope to eliminate parallax and found it to be quite accurate using Remington yellow box ammo. Used to bring it to the Uharrie range, back before they closed it and gave it to kids that were waiting for their Dads to get done playing. Loved it when the kids out shot their Dad that was using a 10-22.
Good quality gun, but do not, I repeat do not use brake cleaner to clean the gun. It will peel the black coating they finish it with ,right off the steel.
 
I like them for shooting off the deck, etc. but it's definitely a bench gun. For a more versatile compact 22 for the stated application I would look at the HTA bullpup stock on a standard 1022 rifle action. Better accuracy unsupported and more velocity.

"splayed frog" position is challengin

I believe the term you are looking for is "Creedmoor position"
I never was comfortable in Creedmoor when I shot IHMSA so I adopted the "Fields Flop"
