Anschütz 1727 F

About the Anschütz 1727 F

The Anschütz 1727 F is a .22 LR sporting and hunting rifle that mates the company's premium Match 54 barreled action to Peter Fortner's straight-pull toggle system. Ball bearings lock the bolt radially into the receiver, letting the shooter cycle the action with a short back-and-forth of the index finger without breaking cheek weld, giving near-semi-automatic follow-up speed with the precision of a match bolt gun. It feeds from a five-round detachable magazine, wears an oil-finished European walnut stock, and carries an adjustable 5020 two-stage trigger.

The Fortner action made Anschütz the standard-bearer of Olympic biathlon, and the 1727 brings that straight-pull speed to hunters and rimfire competitors. Its ability to recharge the chamber without lifting the rifle from the shoulder has made it a favourite for fast-paced small-game hunting and rimfire practical matches.
