Anschutz tends to go for practicality rather than opulence and a bit more walnut figuring on the stock would be welcome – this Sporter is a bit bland Sound-modified rifles have always interested me. I have tested most of the moderators on the market with high-tech sound meters to measure decibel reduction but, out in…

Geoff Garrod is back on crop protection and looks to build a bag of pigeons over laid barley. Then Chris Parkin returns to the range, to test the latest rifle from Anshutz – the 1782 in 6.5 Creedmoor.  FULL KIT LIST   PART A – Geoff Garrod    Gun: Browning Maxus shotgun   Clothing:  Deerhunter…

I tested an Anschütz 1761 in .22 LR last year and was so impressed that I simply had to test this new walnut thumbhole stocked version in the flat-shooting .17 HMR round. Anschütz 1761 The new 1761 action design has proven itself a worthy successor to the older Anschütz rimfires and continues to be a…

To many, the name of Anschutz is synonymous with a range of top-quality rifles, air rifles and air pistols used by competition shooters. The manufacturer’s products continue to be the most commonly seen in the Olympics 50m .22LR events, while its Fortner rifles are widely used by winter biathlon competitors. The company is based in…

The Anschutz 1416 DG Classic, with a short barrel and a sound moderator and bipod fitted, is a kit…

Gun reviews: Anschutz 1517 .17 HMR rifle: Bruce Potts acclaims the accuracy of this rifle and gives its thumbhole the thumbs up.

Anschutz has made my day, as their new 1727F model blends a sporter .17 HMR rifle with the super-slick and precise straight-pull action. The action is actually a redesigned (or up-scaled) action from a similar Anschutz biathlon 1827 model, both of which are made by the firm System Fortner, acting under licence for Anschutz. What you end up with is a highend .17HMR…

Which rifle is best? I am considering purchasing either a CZ 455 16in barrel rifle, an Anschutz 18in barrel rifle or a Sako Quad, but I would appreciate some guidance. The new CZ 455 is said to have some bullet feed problems. Also, is this rifle’s quality compromised by its barrel-switch facility?

I noticed one of your writers uses an old single-shot BSA 12/15 target rifle for his rabbit shooting. I have had the offer of a much more recent (1980s) Anschutz match rifle, and wonder if it would be suitable for the same purpose?
