Help identifying my Annie.
Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2017 10:58 am
Hi all,
I have just bought an old Annie for use in benchrest shooting. The previous owner seems to recall it being sold to him as a1964, Anschutz 64, but there are no marking visible on the rifle.
There is a dovetail sight mount to the rear of the breech, but none in front of the breech.
The barrel has 2 blocks on the barrel, which I am led to believe they were for a long tube scope mount.
I want to mount a scope to the rifle to compete in benchrest competitions, we have tried using an scope rail mounted to just this rear dovetail, but this places the scope way to far back and close to my eye and hence don't get a clear scope picture.
Any ideas on how to mount a scope ? Currently I have an offset scope mounted to the one inch block on the barrel, I'd love to be able to get a longer barrel block to mount it to .
Any ideas/ help greatfully received.
