Anschutz 1710 Cooper 57M

Unless speed is required it appears to be a safety feature so that accidentally droppin the mag is avoided.
I have asked previously without success.
CZ is somewhat similar and there is an aftermarket DIP release that extends it only slightly but a huge improvement.
As with my Remington 700's I have never lost a magazine!

I have this in several 1710's - It's a bit long but makes releasing a magazine a breeze!
Cooper will take the same lever but I couldn't bring myself to fit one on my 57M Custom Classic!

Do you have picture as to what the finished product looks like on a 1710?
Here's one on a 1710 I had. The picture shows it with a GRS stock, but it looks similar with the factory wood. It's a very good modification that makes magazine removal, as noted above, "a breeze".

Allan , installing one on your Custom Classic would be blasphemy , I have an LVT which is bad enough just that
I don't have the thumb/fingers to operate the release well .
Thnkz for the part info... skwerl
The extended long mag release was primarily a byproduct of biathlon rifle design as the stock standing grip would be guarding the long mag release and where a short mag release would have been a pain to access with the grip in the way.
Anschütz simply has the same mag system for the 1710 as it does on the 1827/1827F. On a 1710 with a flatter stock, you could say it works but it looks weird, esp with 5 rounder. With a 10 rounder, less so. However, in the case of the latter, a short release isn't necessarily terrible if pinch the mag with the fingers and thumb the release
