>>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" 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.
