ANSCHUTZ 1712 22LR SILHOUETTE SPORTER MONTE CARLO - SKU: 1712SIL
The ANSCHUTZ 54 match action, which is used in the ANSCHUTZ series 1710/1712 hunting repeater, has dominated national and international competitions including the Olympic Games and the world championships in the small bore rifle disciplines. This is a bolt action, rimfire rifle with cam cocking and bolt eccentrically seated in the receiver. It incorporates 2 action screws. The bolt movement, as with all ANSCHUTZ equipment, is extraordinarily smooth and effortless. The bolt face is set back so that the rim of the cartridge is fully supported by the bolt head. The tried and tested arrangement of claw-extractor and cartridge holder ensures reliable case extraction. The one-piece firing pin has a defined end stop area to prevent damage from dry firing. The receiver is equipped with an 0.43 inch wide, ANSCHUTZ Wave Style, V-block riflescope mounting dovetail rail. There are additional drilled and tapped holes provided for scope mounting bases and rings. The independent bolt catch, mounted on the left side of the receiver, limits the movement of the bolt and protects the trigger. A gas vent hole on the side of the extractor groove directs the gas safely to the side, in the event of cartridge failure. The sliding safety catch on the right hand side, a recent improvement, blocks the trigger sear in the safe position and simultaneously lifts the trigger sear and bolt release latch. The bolt can also be opened in the safe position, allowing unloading the firearm with the safety engaged.Features:
