I bid on and won an older Anschutz sporter built on a single shot 64 action, I honestly didn't think the minimum bid was going to be a winner. Long story short, now it is mine, and i am jonesing for it. I was hoping somebody here could tell me just what it is that I have acquired. Apparently it doesn't have an official model number, and was "not originally sold in the USA". I was hoping one of our resident gurus might shed some light on this rifle for me.

I got the rifle yesterday. I have included a picture of the import mark. I think it was done pretty tastefully.

The metal on this rifle is excellent but the wood not so much. Would it be a complete sacrilege to restock this thing and put a good trigger in it?

Sacrilege? No,just insanity.

Color me insane. The original trigger worked similarly to a Mauser 98 military trigger, and felt about the same. It pulled at around 6 pounds. I made a phone call and had a Model 64 Match trigger in the gun bu 6:00 PM. It now pulls cleanly, right at two pounds. I had to inlet the stock and widen the opening in the plate between the stock and trigger guard. The safety was opposite the original trigger so I had to drill another dimple and do a red and white safety dot instead of the original single red. I am getting excited to shoot this thing now.

As for stocking being expensive, I was going to do it, unless I could find a take-off factory stock. I'd just be in the stock for the blank and hardware.

My congrats for your ingenuity in fitting up the new trigger.I didn't think they were interchangeable,even with work.
I haven't heard of any 64 action sporter stocks floating around,but perhaps Numrich has one.
If you enjoy assorted projects,have the stockmaking talent that very few have, and are having fun with it,that's the main thing.
My thought is that you'll end up with more in it,than buying a higher grade intially.

Thanks for the kind words.

I have done quite a few stocks, and enjoy doing it but can't do it fast enough to make any money at it so I don't offer it as a service to my customers. As for the buying a higher grade rifle in the first place, where's the fun in that?

Thanks for the line on the stocks. I am going to see how the repeater conversion goes first.
