Anschutz 1770 Hunting Repeater

The Model 1770 rifle incorporates a complete newly designed action, which is the first in over 30 years for ANSCHUTZ and is developed from the ground up for center fire cartridges. The six locking lug action provides a large locking surface for added strength and reliability. It also allows a short 60° bolt lift for fast and smooth loading. The action incorporates several pressure vents that redirect gas away from the shooter in case of cartridge failure. The model 5094D Match trigger, which has been successfully used in many ANSCHUTZ Target rifles, is an adjustable, single stage trigger set at 1200 g / 2.5 pounds, but can be set by professional gunsmiths from 2 to 4.5 pounds. The hardened and finely polished trigger parts, along with the low part weight insure a crisp, repeatable trigger pull. The medium target weight, 55 cm / 22 inch barrel is precision cold hammer forged and incorporates a recessed target crown. The receiver is machined with an 11 mm wide, grooved rail in the new Wave style and is additionally drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The cam cocking firing pin system prevents firing until the action has been fully closed. The safety locks both the firing pin and the sear. The one-piece firing pin also has a stop that prevents damage during dry firing. This Meister grade rifle has a select grade, oil finished Germany style walnut stock with semi-oval cheek piece and Schnabel fore-end. The stock has hand cut checkered panels on the grip and forearm, a rubber butt pad and detachable sling swivel studs
