With nearly three years of development, the new 1761 is our next generation of bolt-action sporting rifle from ANSCHÜTZ factory in Ulm, Germany. The 1761 is designed with the sporting shooter and hunter in mind, functioning as a magazine fed bolt-action repeating rifle chambered in .22lr, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR. While this style follows our long tradition of refined sporting and hunting rifles, there is very little similarity between the new 1761 and our current line of 64 and 54 rimfire rifles. The following information offers a closer look at the unique aspects of our 1761 rifle, the mechanical operation, and improvements over the current designs, along with some of the how and why behind the new rifle.
