What Anschutz is this?
- Thread starter taseal
- Start date
Yeah the bolt handle says 64, would be easy if you get a picture from top looking forward at the rear of the bolt.
I am kind of leaning towards it being an old wing safety 54, the bolt handle just doesn’t look right.
Trigger matches what my 1712 has ( 54 sporter action). If it is a wing safety, it most likely started life as a 1710.
Not a 64. It is an Anschutz Match 54 action. The 64 is a stock/assembly number. The 54 action is the basis for all of their top of the line target rifles. the trigger is their older match trigger. Stock is a laminated, probably aftermarket, benchrest stock. It's an F class target rifle
Yes, in my opinion it is easily worth $600. Trigger is worth $200, Barrel Tuner is $250, and Barreled action with trigger is probably close to 1K
That's just an adjustable objective (AO) parallax. Versus having side parallax. AO has been around forever.
I would not left the shop without it just saying since that’s a damn good price.
For some reason I thought it was a repeater. Definitely a Match 54 and worth much more that the Tag price.
Rick, that looks like a 64 action (in the OP) built into a light weight benchrest gun. The trigger is their 5098 model, it has a very distinctive trigger bar that is not cant adjustable because the bar is diamond shaped and the shoe is not height adjustable. It's really common to see small action guns built into benchrest rigs in the south. They use 64 Anschutz, 540 and 580 series Remington, and some others.
5098 trigger for the 64 action
5018 trigger for the 54 action
I disagree. It's hard to tell from the picture. I see an early 54 bolt with the straight bolt shank and small knob, but I could be wrong.
early Match 54 (gen 2, mid-1970's to mid 1980's)
Anschutz 64
I think the best thing to do is to send me the name and address of the shop. I'll drop in and identify it for you. After I tell you what it is you can drop by my place and I'll let you shoot it.
No brainer. Buy it ! If the barrel is marked "Smith" it may be from a barrel maker in Alberta, one of the finest

I dont know why anyone would go through the ass pain/gunsmithing of changing out a 5098 trigger from a 5018 trigger if it is a 54 action.
The trigger in the original post is a 5098, look at how the trigger shoe is attached.
But I dont speak really old Anschutz and I am wrong a lot. Most likely am wrong this time.

It's a pre 18/19 series Match 54, as stated I bet / am certain it will have a wing safely. Not bad rifles at all but no where near the quality as the 18 series rifles. I am pretty sure the 5018 & 5020 triggers were introduced with the 18 series and the old wing safely 54s had their own trigger more similar to the 64s 5098.
It may be a great shooter and isn't a bad price as listed but it's not a "you better buy it" price by any means.

The serial number 53714 indicates the receiver is a 1966-proofed 14xx series single shot Anschutz match 54. The barrel is aftermarket as is the stock. It has a 1407-U9 trigger.
The tuner alone is 150$. I'd take the risk easily. It's far from original and a real good friend of mine runs one in ARA and is a top shooter. I wouldn't be afraid
