Hi guys,
Has anyone seen these in the flesh? I like the look of the pic rail and change barrel system.
I'm after a nice accurate 22lr and would love a 17m2 barrel if they make them too.
Have considered the browning t bolt, and annie 1416 and 1710's too.
any advice is welcome.
Thanks!
Haven't seen one first hand, but I've been keeping an eye on the reviews. All sounds positive, as long as the aesthetics of the magazine and trigger guard aren't a deal breaker for you.
Mate in Queensland has had one for a while. Said he bought it for his wife :P
He says it's a nice wee rifle. (That's reasonable praise as he has a fleet of high class 22s)
He is now considering rebarreling to a straight 0.865 barrel 515 mm long. I don't think there is anything wrong with the current accuracy it's just that he's an accuracy freak and has for example rebarreled one of his Lithgow LA101s and a Weihrauch both with improved accuracy.
Also said the 1761 lends itself nicely to pillar and epoxy bedding.
The trigger may not be a light as desired though as he is looking at work on that.

I'm a bit late here but this is the rifle "zimmer" is talking about.
Trueflite supplied the blank & a smith named Rolf Hey from Hobart put it together.
Barrel has a match chamber, headspaced for Lapua.
Action is now pillar & epoxy bedded and the plastic trigger guard has been replaced with the alloy up-grade (At the price of these guns, the alloy TG should NOT be an option!).
This rifle has the 5061 single stage trigger which has been tuned and re-sprung - Current setting approx. one pound and I wouldn't expect it to be reliable at a lower pull weight.
I've owned a lot of Anschutz 64 and 54 actions - The 1761 does not have the "wow" factor of a 54 but overall function is the equal of any Anschutz I've owned. I've only had the opportunity to shoot this build a couple of times but I've seen enough to know this will be one very accurate 22 now.

HJA8,
What optics do you have on the Anschutz?
Looks to be a Nice accuracy outfit by the way.
A mate of mine is expecting delivery of a 22lr 1761 next week.
If I get to have a play I'll report back here.
It's the now discontinued Bushnell Elite 4500 in 6-24 with the Duplex. I've got a few of these - Compact, clear, track well and ideal for small rim fires. Tempted to buy this one as a spare!Quote:
