Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Anschutz Heavy Barrel 18" or 23"

They are simply pieces of fhuqking schit. Hint................

I traded my CZ in when I got my Anschutz. Good news all round.

New member here and looking around. I've enjoyed this thread and it has reminded me of The Anschutz short barrel M-MS I used in MS competitions when I was very active in the game. The bright patches on the stock and on the scope above are inspection stickers at the National Champion Matches back in the 1990's. The other Anschutzes in pic have been gather over the years. I'll try to post the pic but don't yet know how. If it doesn't work I'll learn how and try again later.

I don't know how true it is, but I also heard that with the longer barrel you get more of a complete burn with a 22LR which translates into a minute accuracy advantage. Anshultz did a comprehensive test with .22LR's years ago, which I got a copy of (haven't got it anymore). They showed that with standard velocity .22LR ammunition, some barrels get maximum velocity at a shorter length and some at a longer length, with around 16 inches (from memory) being an average. With higher velocity .22LR, I would think that the optimum barrel length for velocity would be longer...perhaps 20 inches. However, optimum velocity is not necessarily the optimum length for accuracy in relation to the complete burn criteria (if it is valid). Another point when chopping Anshultz barrels, I had a heavy 23" which I got chopped to 22" (which is perfect for me). I asked the gunsmith where Anshultz puts the choke i.e. whether it is near the muzzle. I was told that the choke is NOT right at the end near the muzzle, and that an inch chopped would not take off the choke portion.

That's a beautiful rifle.

Thanks BSA

Gals who "know" and "do" as "much" as you,will always be best served by asking questions,rather than giving "answers". Hint.

Bless your heart for trying. Hint.
