Anschutz Models ---Sticky---- Mods??? Can We Sticky This??

Hello folks, I am trying to compile information on the Anschutz line of rifles so we can turn it into a sticky. Please if you have information to ad post it, and I will copy and paste it into this post so its stays at the top and makes it easy for folks to find. If you need to be recognized as the author please indicate that and I will make sure you get the recognition.

We still need information on triggers, sights, and any other holes you see that need filling please do so.

I will continue to update this first post as information is added

Folks, if you don't mind kindly let us know if this list is helpful, as we would like to know if its worth maintaining and updating. Thanks

A BIG thank you goes to Prairiewalker! as the following spreadsheets were compiled and shared by him :t

This list has been updated. If you find information that is missing please compact Prairiewalker so he can include it in these charts as he is compiling this information for the sticky.













This link is a great starting point as it lists many of the models and their features.

Here is a quick guide to the Match 54 target-line numbers: copied from Tim Slater's Post

14XX - The rifle was made between 1954 and 1980. Rifles made 1954 -1976 have the wing safety bolt, and a straight handle. Rifles made from 1977-1980 have a trigger safety, and conical bolt cap, plus a redesigned trigger and firing pin. Serial numbers end in an X. Handles were straightb in '77-78, and curved in '79-'80. '77-'80 vintage rifles are often called 16xx, or Transition-models, or X-Barrels to differentiate them.

18xx - The rifle was made between 1980 and 1987. The action/bolt/trigger is very similar to the 16xx, but with enough differences that bolts/triggers are not interchangeable.

19XX - The rifle was made in 1987 or after. The action is the same as the 18xx (bar one miniscule change). The foresight mounting switched from a dovetail block to grooves cut directly into the muzzle (now a slightly larger diameter to suit). the 1907 has a slightly shorter and lighter barrel than the 1913. The 1907 can also be found as a repeater, although extremely rare

XX13 - AKA The Supermatch. This is Anschutz's top of the line Olympic Free Rifle. It has a walnut thumbhole stock. The butt is adjustable for LOP via a thumbscrew, and height, and offset/cant after the late '60s. Post '73 the cheekpice has been adjustable. Barrel is 69cm long and about 24mm diameter.

XX11 - The Prone rifle, Made 1954 to about 2000. This had a broad, straight fore-end. It has the same heavy 69cm barrel as the XX13.

XX07 - 1954-1964- A Lightweight 9lb rifle.
1968?- Present - The UIT Standard, an 11lb rifle in a basic 3-P stock. The barrel is 66cm/26in and lighter than the XX11/XX13. The fore-end is deeper than the XX11 or XX13. Most XX07 for-ends are flush with the triggerguard and then taper up.

XX10 - 197? -2000ish, a cheaper version of the XX13. It has the same barrel but a different stock. The stock is beech, and the fore-end tapers like an XX07.

XX09 - 1960s - A cheaper version of the 1413, without the LOP adjustment.
1970s-2000 an XX07 barrel in an XX10 stock.

XX08 - 1965-196? Anschutz's first UIT standard rifle, for reasons unknown the model number was changed to 1407.
1970s- Running Target rifle.

1912 - 1997-Present, a scaled down 1913 with a 1907 barrel to meet the 6.5kg weight limit for the ISSF Ladies Sport rifle rules.

Chart

I suggest there are still some issues with the abrev. and Anschutz chart, regarding the target line. A little research should show the following.

Originally the letter (L) stood for LIGHT, not left. When the target line produced the first LH stock is when left superseded light. Date to follow.

The 1409 and 1410 were not prone rifles, they were cheaper 3pos rifles. TH stock butt adl only vertical, no hand shelf, no palmrest and no handstop. Date to follow. (1963 ad)

The 1409 was available in both Light and heavy barrels as was the prone and supermatch in the early years. Date to follow. Example - 1963 - 1409 bbl 15/16", 1409L bbl 11/16"

Tapered barrels on some models were common prior to ~63.

1502 Anne in 17HM2

Found one in a local gunshop brand new. Don't know much about the Anschutz models. Can anyone give me any imput? Price seemed kinda high but it is a sweet handling rifle. I looked at the charts in the first post but didn't see it listed. Maybe it's my 70 year old eyes.

I'm working on identifying a 1403 that shows date stamps of 1984, this would be an exception to the info at the top of this thread. According to info here, this should be a 1803, not a 1403.

This might help someone looking for manufacture dates/ models and such.

Here is the thread with photos-

Thanks for this great thread- it's been helpful to me!

There will be variants and variations, Anschutz at times has mixed and matched and created new rifles, which were built in limited numbers. The latest I am aware of the 1907repeater. I believe less than 20 were made. It was the 1907 with a repeater action. Match Action 5818 trigger, 5 shot magazine, heavy barrel. the stocks were the blue laminate stocks. Anschutz on occasion did special orders so unique one off models may appear. Hopefully the sticky has covered most of the models that were available to the general public.

Anscutz

Just came across this and very good info for the most part.
A couple of observations:
I don't find the Model 153 in.222 listed. The Hornet Exemplars I have are not SS but repeaters and my magazines from my 54 actioned ( 1431-32) hornets are interchangeable. wood stocked of course.
I have little interest in the newer rifles, Although I may stumble across an attractive deal on a .17 and buy it.
My interest for a good number of years has been the Stutzen models, especially the 2 piece mannlicher stocks , which are the older models.

I notice in the Legend there is an L designation for left handed, but I cant for the life of me find a model listed in the spreadsheet with an L. Am I blind, which column would it be listed in. I'm guessing the actual model number i.e. 1416 L D, Not sure if this can be linked in the original post, it is a 2004 instruction leaflet that has a model chart describing single/double stage triggers and right and left hand models. If a model was offered as LH, was it always a bolt on the left side of the rifle or were some a right hand action in a left hand stock?

"l"

Prior to 1965 the letter "L"referred to "Light" as in light weight barrel as 1413-L or 1411-L. In 1965 that changed and the Light Weight guns were dropped. However the letter "L" continued with a new meaning "Left" for LH stock. Pre-65 "L" means light weight barrel and post-65 means left hand stock. Left hand bolts were not here yet.
LH bolts were not available until the late 70's (16xx series) if I'm not mistaken.

Anscnutz Model 1502

I didn't see my rifle listed..........
Model 1502 HB chambered in 17 HM2
The only Annie I own and one of my favorite rifles. ( topped with Weaver 4x16 AO )
If wind is no factor, 5 shot groups under an inch are the norm with Eley ammo.
Does almost as well with Hornady. several groups around 1/2 ". (has a wonderful trigger)
Is this model very rare ?..............
I bought it new from LGS and it only has about 300 rounds through it.
I don't hunt anymore so I just shoot a few groups from the bench once in a while....................:bthumb:

Haven't looked at this sticky until today, but I have a couple updates for the Anschutz Pistol section.

The Exemplar Hornet has a 5-shot clip and is a repeater, not a single shot. It also has a walnut stock. Weight is 4.35 pounds.

The Exemplar XIV has a 5-shot clip and is a repeater. It is the same gun as the Exemplar, just with the longer barrel.

Don't know if you need this info, but the Exemplar 64 pistol also came in a left-handed version.
Good info!! It looks like Sigdizzy hasn't been around for awhile but from his notes in the first post he states that Prairiewalker compiled the spread sheet. If Prairiewalker is willing to update the spread sheet and send to me I should be able to update Sigdizzy's first post with the revised info.

correction

Sigdizzy,

You have this and it is only partly correct and partly incorrect. Perhaps the following will help.

You say this:
XX10 - 197? -2000ish, a cheaper version of the XX13. It has the same barrel but a different stock. The stock is beech, and the fore-end tapers like an XX07.

XX09 - 1960s - A cheaper version of the 1413, without the LOP adjustment.
1970s-2000 an XX07 barrel in an XX10 stock.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were two model XX10's . The first was a renamed 1409 in 1965. It still had the cheaper walnut 1413 stock with no LOP adjustment, no hand shelf, no hand stop and no palmrest, it did however offer the option of heavy or light barrels.

Later 197?,- 1980's the original 1410 was discontinued and was renamed XX10 had the "perch belly" (dropped to bottom of trig guard level and tapered upward) forearm, no hand shelf but did have LOP adjustment butt assy, adjustable comb and Heavy BBL of the XX13.

More info on Anschutz pistols:

Anschutz also made the Model 1416 MSP E with a 10" barrel and the Model 1416 MSP E Unlimited with a 14" barrel for silhouette competition, marketed mainly for the European silhouette shooters, but some were available in the U.S. They were single-shot 64 actions, with walnut stocks and adjustable, hooded sights front and rear.

There was also a companion gun, the Model 1730 MSP E Field pistol, single shot, similar to the 1416 MSP E gun, except based on the Match 54 action, in .22 Hornet, walnut stock with no sights and 9.3" barrel.

Anshutz 1417

I also have a 1417 with the regular hunting stock 14 in. barrel. It is almost impossible to find any info on the model anywhere. Bought the gun used without a manual and I can't get it to print off the Anschutz site. Where to look to find any information on this model?
