Anschutz 8001 Club

About the Anschutz 8001 Club

The Anschutz 8001 Club is a single-shot, pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) target rifle chambered in .177 (4.5mm), built for 10-metre ISSF air rifle competition. Made by the German manufacturer J.G. Anschutz, it combines a removable air cylinder with a match-grade barrel, a five-way adjustable match trigger, a globe front sight taking interchangeable inserts, and a micrometer-adjustable diopter rear sight. Positioned as the entry-level model in the 8001/8002 family, it uses an ambidextrous, unstained lacquered walnut stock with an adjustable cheekpiece and buttpad so junior and developing shooters, or shared club guns, can be fitted to individual competitors.

Anschutz match air and smallbore rifles are a fixture on the Olympic 10-metre and 50-metre firing lines. The 8001 Club serves as the affordable gateway rifle for junior programmes and shooting clubs, introducing new competitors to precision standing air rifle before they move up to top-tier Anschutz models.

Anschutz 8001 Club specifications

A 200-bar air cylinder delivers roughly 200 consistent shots per fill. The Club is the budget-oriented member of the range, aimed at those just entering the 10-metre discipline and at clubs sharing equipment among members, while still using the same barrel and trigger quality as the higher-grade 8002 models.
