About
What it is, and why it matters
The Anschütz Model 1771 is a German centerfire bolt-action hunting and varmint rifle that brings the firm's Olympic and biathlon match-action heritage to a medium-caliber sporting platform. Chambered in cartridges from .17 Hornet up through .222 Remington, .223 Remington and .300 Blackout, it features a cold-hammer-forged free-floated barrel, a full-diameter six-lug bolt with a short 60-degree throw for fast follow-up shots, an adjustable trigger and a four-round detachable magazine. It is offered with German walnut (1771 D / DG), GRS laminate adjustable, thumbhole and tactical stocks.
Anschütz's original Thuringian factory in Zella-Mehlis was dismantled by Soviet forces after WWII, forcing the family to relocate to Ulm, where all modern rifles including the 1771 are now built; the firm remains family-run into its fifth generation since 1856.
Specs shown are for a .222 Remington 1771-D/DG. Barrel length varies by variant and market: 508mm (20in, DG), 584mm (23in, D), with some US imports advertised at 559mm (22in). The DG adds a threaded muzzle (M15x1). Trigger options range from a single-stage Direktabzug 5097/2 (factory ~11.7N, adjustable 9.8-19.6N) to a two-stage 5098/71 target trigger adjustable down to ~2.9N.
