I had the pleasure of seeing this first hand at the IWA show last month in Germany. They had it tucked away behind closed doors.
The new Match 54.30 is the next generation of the legendary ANSCHÜTZ Match 54 barreled action.

Email below arrived this morning from Anschutz along with the first released photos.


Greetings,

This past March at the IWA fair in Nuremberg, Germany, we debuted our newly designed Smallbore Match Rifle; the 54.30.

Today we would like to present to you some detailed information about this newly designed match rifle.

Our new Match 54.30 is a considerable evolution of the legendary ANSCHÜTZ Match 54 barreled action.

The new smallbore Match 54.30 action distinguishes itself by following items:

- Basis for the new rifle is the well known and reliable ANSCHÜTZ Match 54 action.
- The loading port was moved 30mm rewards and was reduced in size by 18%.
- These changes increases the stiffness of the receiver.
- The closer location of the loading port allows for less movement when in position and an overall improvment in shooter ergonomics.
- To accomodate the closer location of the loading port, the bolt and the firing pin were reduced in length by 30mm.
- The weight of the firing pin was also reduced, thus resulting in velocity increase of the firing pin and a shorter lock-time.
- The overall accuracy has been improved by a newly designed ANSCHÜTZ Match chamber.
- Unlike match actions in the past, the new Match 54.30 features a threaded receiver and barrel connection. This change removes stresses in the chamber area and further increases accuracy.
- The new Match 54.30 can be installed into all available stocks which fit with the ANSCHÜTZ round match actions such as the 1907 or 1913.
- Like other ANSCHÜTZ products, the Match 54.30 features a maintenance - friendly and long lasting overall construction.
- Very competitive pricing.

Additional details about the ANSCHÜTZ Match 54.30 are included in the enclosed attachement.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us through our website or dealer network.

Funny enough I was talking with someone one on the weekend about the rumour of a new anschutz action. Starting to see less and less Anschutz in the world cup finals.

I presume its still a 12 o'clock firing pin?

I assume it is a 12 o'clock position, I have asked for photos of the bolt face.

Less and less Anschutz in world cup finals...this was appropriately timed :)
The Croatian shooter won another Gold medal at the ISSF World Cup in Changwon at today's 50m rifle 3 positions women event, with a new final world record of 463.0 points.

 
Time will tell whether this is enough. Anschutz set the standard in the 60's but I don't think they've kept the R&D going like the blieker and racer.

Emmons left Anschutz sponsorship because he was being out gunned by the blieker and racer....

Also a bit surprised they didn't keep the 2013 footprint.
 
That's a good point about the 2013 footprint, but I'm sure they have there reasons.
Will be interesting to see how it performs. From what I have been told, initial testing has been beyond there expectations.
Blieker and G+E Racer are very expensive expensive rifles on this side of the pond. Anschutz have said this will have 'very competitive pricing'...but I am not sure what they
are comparing the pricing too (haven't seen it yet).

I bet there'd be no more the 2 cases worth of Tenex in price difference ;)
 
54.30's are due in sometime late Aug by the looks of it. We have 4 barrelled actions on the way, a Precise stock 1918 and a 1907 stock version. Our first one was supposed to have arrived in our last shipment a few weeks ago but demand is out paceing production it seems. Huge demand in the EU for it. The action is a hit so far.

Price is going to depend on the Euro. It's been on a fast climb over the last 4 weeks. More details once I have them.
