You probably won't find many people that are shooting one due to the $2500 price tag. Prophet River has some, but no 223s, though that 300 Blackout looks interesting.
Not sure what experience you have with Anschutz rifles, but I can tell you that they are extraordinarily high quality. I read an article in Calibre on the 1771 and they sing it's praises, which doesn't surprise me.
The trigger will be light, somewhere in the 2.5lb range which is light, but not impractical in warmer weather. Would this be my choice for a winter coyote rifle where numb fingers are almost a certainty? Maybe not, but as good as they Anschutz rifles are, I would definitely not rule it out.
The bottom line is, if you have the money to spend and the availability of work to put it to, say you live in the country and have plenty of gophers and predators to shoot at, then you should buy it. But if all you do is punch paper and then drive home to your condo in the city, it might be an overly expensive way of scratching that itch.
