Anschutz 1727 APR

#3
Looks like a pretty sweet rifle not sure I understand the AICS magazines though, maybe there are limitations with the ordinary 1727/1710 magazine that are hard to overcome.

I like the look of the steel forend version, and it’d nice to see they went with a decently heavy profile barrel.
The base rifle (with steel forend) is around 17lb which is nice you don’t need to go and buy a tonne of weights for it.

Here's a picture of the standard vs competition version. The second image (with black forend) is the solid steel version.
Barrel dimensions 22in x ~1.10 (28mm)

Hey gents,
If you are thinking of one of these in the future, you may want to act. I spoke with A.N.A. today. They are only getting 6 of these rifles out of the first production run. I got on the list for one so maybe 5 left. I inquired about the “Gas Pedal” which is the thumb assist lever on the bolt.
They are trying to get those shipped in too, and I have been told it’s a super easy installation. I want one for my 1727F in the ATX chassis.
I’d cancel my order if I could find someone that has the expertise to mill out the ATX for RimX mags. I think that would be great for my personal taste.

M18X1.0 muzzle threads…

While I truly believe that is a superior thread size for suppressors (especially for rimfire applications), it’s a tough sell here in the US. Maybe the ones imported here will be 1/2X28, but I didn’t see that anywhere.

It's a tough sell anywhere, the standard RF thread sizes are always 1/2x28 or 1/2x20. But I imagine it's more there for tuners rather than a suppressor.

I guess they didn't want to counter bore the muzzle like they usual do, so just use went for the biggest thread practical.

In my opinion this is how it should have always been, the only time 1/2”-5/8” muzzle threads are acceptable are for pencil thin barrels. But that is just like my opinion man…

I got to play with this rifle and the 1761 APR Gen2 (ACC Gen2 chassis).

Man it's a sweet rifle, they definitely put a lot of thought into it and took feedback from actual shooters.
Pretty much everything you could ever want is adjustable, or there are replacement parts to make it fit like a glove.

Definitely the coolest rimfire I've ever seen.

The Czech factory team is going to be shooting them at the IPRF PRS22 world champs this week, will be interesting to see how they perform.

I watched a few of these new rifle at the IPRF PR22 comp.

From what I could tell they all ran flawlessly and are very impressive rifles.
The straight pull action meant double taps were extremely fast, and the magazines can be attached together (side by side) so the mag changes are very fast.

The Czech factory team all shot these rifles and came 2nd, so they clearly work very well.

Yeah, that’s great to hear.
If they ran flawlessly at a big match like that and the Czech team managed 2nd with them, it really shows they’re solid rifles. The straight-pull and linked mags sound like a big advantage for speed too - definitely impressive.

When I used to use my 1827F for NRL22 I'd pick up extra points on stages with awkward positions, meaning I didn't need to change or break my current position, and sometimes that made for winning the match.

So it's much like using a semi except having the precision of a bolt gun. You save time and use that time to build a more congenial hold, as well as gauge what the wind is doing, and to think of your next move without being rushed.

It all adds up to a few points more per match if the stages are set up to take advantage of the attributes the Fortner offers.

One of my favorite memories was of a large double spinner stage in which one got extra points for how many revolutions you got. The semi's did well if timed right, I did well also, but the bolt guns not so much on that stage. I won that match and this stage was part of the reason.

I spoke to a good friend at Anschutz NA about this a couple months ago. The new mag design was for the NRL/PRS crowd. They should be easier to load and that would be a plus to me. Down side is this version has been on order for quite some time but has yet to show up at ANA. They had no ETA and there was possibly some issue with the mags(don't remember exactly).
I own two 1727 rifles, one in a GRS Hybrid and another in the ATX chassis. I see no limitations. In fact, I shoot these two 100% and my son is shooting the Vudoo. The only thing I miss is the ease of loading VUdoo mags v. the Annie mags (springs are very tight on the newest ones I have).
