The Anschutz MSR is the ISSC's MSR MK22
It will shock many to you to learn that once or twice in my life I have made a mistake . Yesterday you bore witness to that rare occurrence. I blogged about the Anschutz MSR RX22 but completely missed the fact that is it clearly a variant of ISSC’s MSR MK22 rifle patterned after the FN SCAR.
In retrospect, I don’t know how I missed that! In my defense, the last time I fired the MSR MK22 was about 18 months ago, and I have a bad memory! Fortunately I have you, my intelligent readers, to catch my mistakes quickly.
I suspect the reason Anschutz licensed another gun is that the ISSC’s MSR MK22 can be produced much cheaper than their .22 semi-automatic Model 520.
Thats a joke. I make LOTS of mistakes.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Can someone please confirm the following:
The ISSC MK22 is a plastic gun with no special features or accuracy?
The MSR RX22 is a modern sporting/hunting rifle made with the purpose of having a semiautomatic and precise rifle for ISPC etc?
ISSC's version is essentially Chinese-made crap, built under license from Anschutz.
The Anschutz version is, according to Anschutz's US marketing director, is 100% German parts and built. Supposedly. Not even comparable in quality.
Just my two cents
