Bought An Annie Today

[Czechnologist]

Finally realized the dream of owning what is arguably the finest bolt action .22 rifle ever conceived by mortal man. This is my Anschutz 1710 HB (two stage trigger). I chose a Leica ER 6.5-26x56 LRS for my optic. German gun gotta have German glass, right?

It wasn't a difficult decision. During the last two years of ammo shortages and pandemic price-gouging my shooting preferences have taken a hard turn towards .22 LR and the simple pleasures that only a quality bolt action rifle can provide. I've always wanted an Anschutz.

Apologies for the less-than-great pics. The lighting in the shop isn't the best for photography.

Very pretty rifle sir, post a range report when you can.

Oh hell yeah!

Enjoy it!

Everyone should own and enjoy at least one Anschutz!

Very nice. Which shop did you find that at? I'm not in the market for another but I love drooling over them.

Thanks! Euro Optic in Williamsport, PA. Most of the time I just order, and they ship it to my FFL but I wanted to see it first.

If you go, be sure to bring a towel to wipe-up after yourself. I can't walk past the wall o' Sako rifles without getting a little light-headed.

I thought you bought a red headed orphan.

I like this buy better.

Outstanding! Never seen a trigger quite like that. The wood grain is stunning.

Went with this scope from Leica. It's an ER 6.5-26x56 LRS with some of the most beautiful glass I have ever peered thru.

Thank you. The lousy pics don't do it justice. It's a two-stage match trigger that's fully adjustable.

 

[Augie]

Very nice, great wood on it.

Love me some RFC.

Me too! A top notch site IMO with a wealth of information and little drama.

 

[calicojack]

Nice rifle but why did you cheap out on the scope? Kidding! Congrats!!

That description fits half of the guns I own. Well - "red-headed step child" I guess.
