Anschutz 64 MP R Multi Purpose in .22 LR

[Big Bad]

So a rifle I ordered some time ago, an Anschutz 64 MP R Multi Purpose in .22 LR. finally arrived but the new to me and rather strange gun store I got it through did not order the 2 spare 5 round magazines I asked them to; they developed some minor amnesia about the agreed-upon price too, but I was too happy to get it to just walk away. (I did learn not to do business with them of course.)

Looking around the internet, I'm not finding anyone offering said 5 round magazines so perhaps the company in Austria doesn't have them either, but does anyone have suggestions as to where I should look? Damned if I want to shoot .22 on targets with just one little 5 R mag but more importantly spares are good things to have as this is to my mind a heritage rifle to be passed down and stuff.

And no matter what, I'm looking forward to days of fun with greatly improved accuracy on targets out to 200 metres, or so some claim. I'll just settle for a rifle that's more accurate than I am, not something that I can say about 10/22s and such, not after a month of shooting anyway. And I chose this particular model because it's dual purpose and good for hunting. It's a little heavier than your average bush .22, but its accuracy will make up for that.

This. And while you are at it, get one of the single-shot adapters for when you get real serious. Have fun with your new rifle!

I'm guessing that you didn't go through the trouble to order the rifle from Austria. Anschutz is a German-made rifle. All Anschutz magazines will fit the rifle. You can get five and ten shot magazines. As Gillis2 says, Nordic Marksman is the place to go.

That's a great tip, thanks. But I'm fairly sure that Brownells will not ship magazines to Canada, aren't I?

Nordic Marksman is the first place I looked, they have delisted 5 round mags. They do have a 10 round listed, anyway I'm going to phone them to see what the deal is with the smaller ones, they were around $25 if memory serves and the 10 rd is more like $80- I can't help being economical. And maybe RCMP Labs will prohibit 10 rd bolt action mags next....

Excellent tip, thanks. I've long been out of the bench shooting business and of course using one will actually be better than using a mag.

 

[Big Bad]

OK, Nordic Marksman do have at least a dozen 5 rd mags in stock, don't know why they took them off the page but anyway in real life they are more like $65; I must have been looking at an off market mag when I saw the lower price. Done and done.

Brownells will ship mags as long as they are legal. I just ordered a trigger.

I'm just in the process of mounting the scope rails, tomorrow the scope (I've learned to wait to establish a solid base so want the Loctite to dry thoroughly). Excitement is mounting... oboy, an accurate .22!
