Anschutz?

I owned savage mk2, anschutz 64, 54 and 520. In my opinion if you have the money you should definitely go with a anschutz 54. It is different from the 64 in several ways:

First of all 54 type action usually comes with a better trigger. It also has separate bolt release button so you wont damage your trigger while pulling your bolt out. The extractors uses spring rather than metal clip and the two extractors are angled, so the 54 type action has a much more positive ejection than 64 types. The 54 type also uses dual locking lugs to provide a more uniform lockup for the bolt. Last but not least, the 54 type action is much beefier than 64 type.

If money doesn't allow you to spent that much then you should check out CZ 452s. They are extremely well built and also uses dual locking lugs.

I know I might start some discussion here but IMO you should avoid savage entirely. Both the one I've owned(MK2 BV) and the one that my friend bought(MK2 FV) have very soft receiver. The lockup area on the receiver starts to wear after only few hundred rounds. The anschutz 54 I've bought probably had more than few thousand rounds through and even the bluing on the lockup area still looks new. And the smoothness of the action on savage is also not comparable to higher end rifles.

My sentiments exactly.

I have shot a friends Model 64 Silhouette at 100M and the 10 shot groups were dime sized.

I doubt very much anyone would sell an Anschutz that can do that.

I sure as hell wouldn't and I'm left-handed.

I've sold lots that will do that, in fact I have a sale pending one now that can and has done it several times.

So, what's your point? Why did you sell them in the first place? Too many rifles in the collection, perhaps?

What person would sell an accurate Anschutz that they practically obtained for for next to nothing $$$ wise? Not very many - if any. Unless of course they bought it for the purpose of reselling it to make a few dollars. Which in that case, the originating dealer left money on the table to begin with.

Or perhaps the originating dealer actually charged a fair price for what he sold,and the buyers are looking for someone to pay even more for the Anschutz name.

I hope it's the one I'm looking at ;) . I'm also looking at 3dmark's 54..
Neither seem to be gouging price wise. I know what the 54s on tradex sold for and Just becuse someone got a deal doesn't mean he should give it away...Unless they want to :)


After searching and inquiring I finally got a sent a message to a local club about their .22 shoots. It seemed there was no place in Saskatoon to compete without digging around a bit.
Now I think I need 3 seperate guns to play. One for the peep sights(match 64), one for scope( match 54), and one for open sights (CIL 310 or my CIL 125)

I prob will sell off the 310 but it shoots sooo damm nice:confused:. Now I guess I'll flogg some shotguns and my P14 and play nothing but rimfire.

It's strange but when someone else offer you a couple of shots with their .22s they all feel like absolute crap after a annie. Then once you buy one you want more and more....crackschultz

Not for $300 though I bet, eh Cat?

I imagine you paid a pretty penny for them in the first place and are at least close to getting your money back.

If however, you see fit to purge yourself of a super accurate Model 54 for next to nothing, please do think of me.:D

Especially if by chance it happens to be a southpaw.;)

Over the years I've snapped up almost every one that I came across for a deal, then resold them .
Now before anybody slags me for selling them at an outrageous price because of the Anschutz name, that's not it.
Anybody who has dealt with me will tell you that I gave them a fair deal - I don't buy stuff to push the price into the stratosphere, be it a match 54 or a Ruger No.1.
I also put together a mess of actions and stocks from a garage load of parts that came from left over C.I.L. stock.
that's another story however.
I also own more than 10 rimfire match rifles myself that will never be sold, one of them a 1956 model Remington 37 that was once owned by Jim Boa, then later his son , Gil .
Unless a target rifle has some sort of history for me, it's just another match rifle, be it a M54, M52, M37 or a Ballard for that matter.

For me I never had a Annie match type rifle so my son and i played around with them for a couple months and their extremly accurate so much when we go to the range we dont go to the 50 ydd range we go directly to the 100yd range with the these rimfires and bring along our centre fire rifles and stay there. I like to try different rifles especially rimfires, their a hoot. My son wanted a coyote rifle so were in the process of builidng one on a Stevens action hence the sell of the 64 and Im looking for a lefty CZ or Browning 22lr but still may not sell my 54 as it is an amazing rifle. However my son and I are both left handed so the stocks on the annie match didnt fit us the best. My son also has a Annie Sporter that we he uses for hunting and plinking and he wont be getting rid of that Annie any time soon.



So to say they wouldnt shoot is a joke, to say we bought them to resell well not really I made maybe $25 after all is said and done on the 64, now the 54 may be a little different if I acutally decide to sell it.

sorry to interrupt:

A friend from work (new to guns) just found an "old" Anschutz 22 in his grandfathers barn.
I wonder if he's got something valuable - even though he isn't going to sell, it's be great to know.
 
Does it look like single shot Cooey? Or does it look like it was at the Olympics?

Makes all the difference.

Anschutz made a lot of cheap single shot 22's. Folks are not exactly screaming for them, so they are not really worth much. The higher grade models, on the other hand, tend not to lose much value, over the years.

Without knowing what it is, and seeing pictures that accurately show the condition, I'll say it's worth $20, sight unseen, maybe less. (Yes, that is a smart-arse answer!)

Post pictures, get a better idea of value.

Cheers

Ok guys I have decided I want a model 54 actioned anschutz but what model should I be looking for? It will be living on the bench if it makes a difference.

What models would you all suggest?

Thanks

That's about like saying I have an old Chevy, how much is it worth?

More details and pics are required if you want an intelligent answer. OP, sorry for the slight hijack.

To keep it roughly on topic, I have a CIL/Anschutz 310 and it is an excellent shooter with the best trigger I have ever sampled on a rifle. Not a BR rifle like what you are looking for, though.

Take a look at the 150 year anniversary model, its the only 54 action with a stainless barrel. Wonderful gun, shoots great off the bench, shoots great in the gopher patch, and looks great! Will hold its value better than the next. May be one new one left in the country, I think all of 10 made it into Canada.
 
Not that this answers anything here, but I just had a couple of beers with my lunch, so there goes my judgement... :)

I own an Anschutz that I've never seen mentioned on here, a 1451 bolt action repeater. I have 2 x 5rd. mags for it, and 2 x 10rd. mags. Not a bench rest gun, I'm guessing it might be one of their more econo-field rifles. Very light, great trigger, action is stiff though. I love this .22 like no other, so depending on what your intentions are with the gun (ie., not competition) there are other Anschutz options around.

Interesting, I am also lefty and have a 64 with lefty stock on.

Great for irons practice and great for F-Class practice as well at 200 yards.( with scope and bipod). Only complaint it could be a bit heavier at front.

Shooting F-Class .308 with bipod, you "load" or push on bipod to keep steady.
With the .22 it is very hard to be repeatable with position and "loading" or when merely putting shoulder to stock.

Just about any Model 54 would do the trick... if you can find one with an open pistol grip, all the better. There are lots of Anschütz stocks that have a nice flat bottom to the forestock, which is what you're looking for in a BR stock. You'll likely see a few custom stocks in your travels as well - Target shooters tend to be tinkerers.

If you get lucky, you might find a 54 barreled action in a really beat-up old stock for a great price - drop that into decent aftermarket stock and you're laughing.
