About
What it is, and why it matters
The Anschütz 54.30 is a single-shot bolt-action smallbore target rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle, developed as an evolution of the legendary Match 54 action for ISSF 3-position and prone competition. Its defining innovation is a threaded barrel-to-receiver connection that removes chamber-area stress for improved accuracy, paired with a bolt shortened by roughly 30 mm (the source of the '30' designation) for a faster, more compact cycling stroke. Built around an adjustable two-stage match trigger and offered across a range of aluminium and walnut target stocks, it is a purpose-built precision competition rifle rather than a sporting or hunting arm.
The Match 54 action, introduced in 1954, is regarded as the gold standard of Olympic smallbore target rifles. The 54.30 modernises that pedigree with a threaded barrel joint and shortened bolt, keeping Anschütz at the forefront of ISSF competition shooting.
The '30' refers to the bolt being about 30 mm shorter than earlier Match 54 actions; the barrel is screwed roughly 2.5 inches into the receiver. Weight varies substantially by stock choice, from about 4.7 kg in a 1907 walnut stock to over 5.6 kg in a 1918 aluminium stock.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
