I'm Anschutz Ignorant - 09/15/22
I've got to admit, I've not stayed informed on their offerings over the years, mainly due to pricing. My first rifle was/is a .22LR Woodchucker that my father bought me when I was about 5 and my kids learned to shoot with it also. After that, I moved on to rimfires from Ruger and Remington. Anschutz seems to have offered several action variants over the years, with some being more respected than others, and a lot of equipment geared toward competitive shooting. Is there a "Cliff's Notes" version of what's what with their bolt guns?
I recently picked up this rifle from that belonged to a friend of mine that passed away a few years back. He was really into rimfires and I didn't even know he'd purchased this one. It's a 1416 .22LR with a threaded heavy sporter 18" tube and sporter-width forend. I must admit, it is one of the best feeling .22LR rifles I've had, partly due to the stock ergos and balance. With the Mask can and an old Nikon 2.5-10, it goes 7.8lbs and feels like a big game rifle. The trigger is what all .22LR sporters should be.
My old Woodchucker, being wrung out by the kids about 10yrs back.
