That's funny. I used to shoot against culver in the early 80's. I shot with south bend demalyI don't own one but I did shoot one back when I attended Culver in the very early 80s.
They were not used for our marksmanship classes. Rather, they were reserved for the competition team.
Fortunately I was given a chance to shoot one after class one day. Very nice action and sights.
Super accurate. Meaning, way more accurate than I am. ;-)
It was my one and only time to put hands on...so far.

Favorite Anshutz story. Used to accompany friends to the local range. While they were happily shooting their .22 targets, I was shooting the thumb tacks that held their targets up….Like to hear from other anschutz owners. I have a 54 sporter and love it.
Ok confession time. I usually finished before everyone else during the competitions and you can't get and leave the range till everyone is done. So i would sneak extra ammo in and shoot the target holder rods. 12 year olds lol. I've even shot out a couple target holders.Favorite Anshutz story. Used to accompany friends to the local range.

Isn’t that what everyone does when you’re done?Favorite Anshutz story. Used to accompany friends to the local range. While they were happily shooting their .22 targets, I was shooting the thumb tacks that held their targets up….

We had some young ladies that could "out shoot" the cadets every day of the week.
Learned my love for firearms and shooting sports there. Qualified as an NRA Expert Marksman at age 13. Too bad I don't shoot nearly that well today. LOL
Our best shooters were girls. My sister, and 2 others. All went to camp perry, and the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs. My sister runs her own youth club now in Southern Michigan, one of the other girls was puck up by the navy to shoot competition for them.Being at Culver was the first time I learned what "Shoot like a girl" really meant.

Interesting. Never seen that before
I got it off Gunbroker when I was searching for 6mm Flobert "parlor guns". The 6mm Flobert round is basically a CB cap and I guess people used to shoot them in their parlors back in the day. How cool would that have been??Interesting. Never seen that before
That is beautiful, but the bolt is on the wrong side........My 54 sporter

That's exactly the same as my 54 sporter, only difference i can see from the pics is the barrels a little different.Years ago I bought an unfired Python and this Anschutz from a guy, I resold the Python for what I payed for both. The Annie is a model 1700, 54 action. Mark Penrod bedded the action, floated the barrel and adjusted the trigger to about 1.5 lbs. It's a great shooting rifle, averaging in the .3s for 5 shots at 50 yards with several loads.
