Looking at the serial number it appears to be an early 1970's rifle. The absence of a two digit date and proof marks is odd. So too is the absence of the intermediate ring (also called a breeching nut) which is a tapered ring where the barrel and receiver meet. (Since the receiver is the same for a heavy barrel and the slimmer xx07 barrels Anschutz puts a tapered ring where the xx07 barrel joins the receiver to make less dramatic the difference in receiver height vis-à-vis the barrel height.) This may suggest that the rifle has been re-barreled or cut down and rechambered.
That is a proof symbol followed by a Z, which may in fact be an N sideways. The barrel should have those markings as well as others and a two digit date stamp -- all on the left side, next to the receiver.

no matter if 54 or 64......you got yourself a nice single shot tack driver.
Hi,
It's a model 54 Match rifle. Grauhanen is right about the proof markings. And as well, the two digit yr of mfg would be below the rear sight block; its missing. There would be other manufacture markings further down the barrel to indicate it is an Anschutz 54 Match rifle. Looks like other manufacture or barrel turned down?? And the breeching nut is missing. I have what appears to be an identical rifle and in similar serial range; mine is lower and a 1971. It is a model 1408 54 Match rifle. I bought it new in 1972 and still have it. Although it has been professionally customized to meet SFC Sporter rules. Looks a lot different now. And the barrel length is 26 inches. Can't get a close view of the trigger, but looks different from mine. The 1408 came with a standard curved trigger. Hope this helps.
