'Dude, I certainly can't recall seeing an A on a rifle over here. Although I'm still not sure why Anschutz would need to mark rifles destined for North America. Heavy barrels of 1970s vintage here have 'scope blocks too, as do the odd ISU weight, but there are no distinguishing marks. Was it somethi...

No-one seems to know. It's not a proof mark, or part of the regularserial number. A suggestion is it indicates rifles to be sold in North America,. It might also show a duplicated s/n.

So, if I understand correctly, I have the 5071 two stage trigger which is the precursor to the 5018. If I had to replace the trigger I would have to find the 5071, the 5018 is not compatible with the bolt. Correct? Also, since I have you, I have a stock question. If I wanted to replace the stock, i...

I’m wondering if I have the 5071 trigger that has the sear to adjust weight( I think that’s the way to describe it), I’ve read where there is a slightly better trigger before the 5018 came out. Thanks again Tim! Hi, Don't mention it. As for triggers, I'd expect a 1613 to have a 5071. There was a si...

Your rifle was proof tested in 1979. The HK stands for 79, the antler represents the Ulm proof House, and the blob is the eagle of the Federal German Republic. 1979 was almost certainly the year it was made. I've owned a couple of 1613s, 1704--X and 1708--X, and both were 1979 proofed too. Regarding...

Defamation is laughable. The rules clearly state you cannot wear an electronic device. She is wearing an Whoop which is an electronic device that communicates via blutooth. You've proven Leone broke a rule, but can you prove she cheated? Without proof she gained an advantage, or intended to, your r...

Cheating, to me at least,is a very loaded word, and implies intent. Do you have any proof that Chiara Leone actually communicated with her coach, or even intended to do so, rather than just not removing her her watch? Practically would she be able to communicate with it while shooting? If you can't ...

Yes, I seem to remember an Austrian shooter (Pickl?) winning a medal the the 22Max last year.

Redfeather, If the foresight tunnel is a standard size you could order a selection of new aperture inserts. I believe Diana used the common 18mm/Anschutz size in the late '80s, but don't know if that's what your 65 has. If it has the 16mm tunnel that Walther and FWB used for many years, inserts will...

Tom, The trigger weight limit is only for 300m Standard Rifle. 300m Free Rifle and 50m Rifle (men's and women's) have no trigger weight limit. The other limitations applied to 300m Standard Rifle, do not apply to 300m Free Rifle or 50m Rifle either: no thumbhole grip, no palm rest, no palm shelf for...

Tom, 1500g is pretty heavy for a Match trigger today, that's just over 3lb in old money. It's likely lighter than most sporting/military rifles, but requires a stronger grip and more concentration than a "normal" weight match trigger. In fact, I doubt many match triggers made in the last 4...

Is there any room to place a shim between the clamp and the rail?

5.6kg w/o sights and tube according to Anschutz.

Tony, First the factory test target really isn't relevant after 25 years: it was shot with the barrel clamped in a vice, and is really a function test/proof the rifle meets the factory minimum standard, than a pure best accuracy test. The group you get is also cherry picked, FWB will likely have sho...

You may be thinking of the Marlin 2000. The Internet seems to think it had Microgroove rifling.

Anschutz made the sights adjustable for a reason. If your group isn't centred, click the sights*. Changing how the rifle fits will very often require sight adjustment. This isn't something to be fearful of though, as the sights are intended to be uset adjustable, and there are dedicated sighting tar...

I was asking because I use an old Walther with a really good barrel. For me the trigger works fine but I can't get the trigger weight down as I'd like and I wonder if a bath in a cleaning product might improve its operation. In my experience, dirt tents to make a trigger feel scratchy, slow, or inc...

Hawkyork,

You do realise this thread is 16 years old. I don't think any of the original responders still post here.
