I seen one on here recently for $450.00 in excellent condition (sold), and I've even seen other's in like new condition for $600-$800. Kind of surprising to find older guns in that kind of condition still kicking around.

They look somewhat similar to me to the 64 Biathlon which is around $1,015 new.

So what do you think Anschutz model 190's are really worth in that kind of condition? Or should I take the plunge and just buy a 64 Biathlon instead?
 
I have purchased a number of these for our club over the years. Price tends to be around the $450-$600 range for very good to excellent condition.
These rifles are capable of incredible accuracy and have taken a few of our juniors to nationals. Essentially they are a model 1403 with prone stock and a lighter bbl.
Your choice of rifle should be based on the type of shooting you intend to do. The 190 is essentially a single shot prone rifle but can be used with great success in 3P, however if shooting 3P the 1403 with it's 3P stock would be a better choice. The biathlon rifle is a repeater and would not qualify for match rifle unless loaded single shot.
If you are intending to use the rifle for sporting purposes only, the savage mentioned above would do you just fine as would a number of other rifles on the market.
Hope this helps
 
Thanks a lot everyone. :)

And I also found some info here... http://rifleclub.tripod.com/SportingRifle/Specs.htm

I own a Winchester 69a, Vostock Toz-12, and a CIL/Anschutz 180 all with peep sights but I wanted a higher end gun with peep sights for non-competitive target shooting. I can't seem to focus properly on ramp sights anymore but if I want to use iron sights peep sights are ok.

I actually put in a bid on an auction sight for a "like new, minty condition" CIL/Anschutz 190 but for some strange reason the "auto bid" feature automatically bid the highest possible amount I'd ever have considered paying even though I was the only one bidding so I'm probably paying much more for the gun then it's actually worth. :eek: :(

Oh well, I love Anschutz's....

The 180 and the 190 have the same action, an Anschutz 64.
The Savage Mk11 is nowhere near the same rifle as the 190, in action or stock, as far as a sporting class rifle goes.
The 190 can be used for a beginning match rifle shooter wirth a sling and for training with a hook and palm rest for young shooters, also.
As was stated,they 190 is worth about $450-$500.

The stock was designed as a competition rifle for the sporting class, basiclly all thhat was done was a 180 stuck into standard rifle class stock. In 1970 in Winnepeg90% of the rifles on the line at the Nationals were 190's.
That says something for their accuracy.
PM me if you want some more details on the origin of the 190 C.I.L.
I happen to have some inside info!:D

I've been caught by that as well - if your auto bid maximum is above the reserve, it automatically bids equal to the reserve.

Yeah that's exactly what happened and I can see now why not many users are using that site. They don't seem to warn you that can happen on their site. They do state "- Do not inflate the price of your item by bidding on the item yourself". Yet they deceptively get around that by hiding the reserve price and then the auto bid competes against their hidden reserve.
 
A 190 in great shape with target sights usually go for around $400. 180's a little less yet. They're nice but I'd prefer a heavier barrel in a target rifle configuration. Triggers are OK.

The 190 is at max for weight as far as the class ( sporting rifle) it was designed for is concerned, which is thhee sporting rifle class in SFC competition.
To use a heavier rifle you would be shooting in the match rifle class

When shot outdoors it 50 meters in prone, and 3 positon, we used to shoot at 100 also, but I don't think they still do.
Indoors used to be 20 yards, but it is liekly 18 meters now!:confused:

You can always PM the seller for the reserve before bidding. Most folks are happy to let you know.
 
We have 15 rifles Anschutz 190's at our club and over the past 30 years of target shooting had to replace only a few sears.
Highly recommend it if you are into sporting competition target shooting.
