Notice the black cylinder shape in front of the biathlon .22, which is against the back wall of the display. That is an AR-15/M-16 style trainer with the guts of the 8002 stuffed into it. (I talked to the guys at the booth as well.)
I did notice however that FWB was not there at SHOT!

That guy is either the 1907 or the 1913 (depending on the barrel length ... 63cm or 66cm) in the brand new 1914 walnut stock.
The stock (brand new release this year 2011) is an upgrade from the 1912 walnut stock - however it combines the benefits of a better cheekpiece (The "precise cheekpiece" that is not available on the 1912 walnut stock) and the 4765 buttplate.
The cheekpiece is the one that typically come with the aluminum 1918 and 2018 precise stocks but the 4765 buttplate is available in most Anschutz variants. The right hand side of the stock would show the fast clamp mechanisms for the cheekpiece and buttplate - another neat option that is not available on the 1912 unless you go out and buy the extra little pieces.
I would ocnsider the 1907/1913 action in the 1914 stock as more "mid" level than entry level - Anschutz has some much cheaper variants available before you touch on this version. The next step up would be the 20XX series with heavier actions and then you would be into the aluminum precise stocks.
It is a really nice piece of kit.
Thankyou very much for posting some Anschutz stuff from the shot show - I couldn't make it this year due to work.
Oops. Got those barrel lengths wrong.
That should be 66 and 69 cm respectively.
3 cm difference and about just over $300 difference!!
