Finally arrived

Where are you located? And what are your initial impressions of the barreled action?

It looks like it came with a bipod. Are they including it with the rifle?

Did they also include a new shorter bore guide?

Thanks
Joe

Does it come with a Butt Plate, can you show more Photos with what it came with set up? Looks interesting enjoy.

Does it come with a tube? Noticed a locating ring on the muzzle.

The bi-pod is extra and it comes with the tube.
As usual you need to but=y sights and a buttplate to fit on the carrier

Pics are with a Gemini Buttplate and handstop (comes with the basic Anschutz handstop)

I also bought the equivalent of the Centra Vibrake Plate fitted otherwise the sights run into problems (similar to the Bleiker which has a plate over the loading port)

apparently there is no bolt protector or cleaning rod guide available yet (they are working on it)

the plate below the sights is parts number 014104 (it's not listed anywhere yet)

most of the time on the range was spent setting it up so have not had the chance to fully try it out. No doubt I will be fiddling with settings for the next few weeks.

more pics will take better over the weekend

Hmmmm.....the receiver isn't all polished and shiny like it was in the debut photos. Or maybe it's just the lighting?

no the receiver is not shiny

As I spotted they have added an extra rail for rear sights so we can play with them forward and backward.
I'm still waiting for one to appear in Poland. :-(
Have a good shooting.

It disappoints me that Anschutz is delivering a rifle that's not as shown on their promotional photos. Not that the finish will affect the performance of the rifle. But I really liked the polished look of the receiver from the official photos. This just looks like it skipped a step in production.

But if it holds the center every shot....I'll still buy one. Along with a KK500.

Probably bead blasted to reduce glare. Shooting outdoors on a sunny day could really suck if the sun is at the wrong angle.

You can also find 54.30 with all black receiver - see photo gallery section:

A very nice rifle; that is why I gave up smallbore around 20 years ago...it turned into a money game.

Its still the Indian and not the bow; but the arrows are getting pricey.

wonder what one of these will cost in usd

YES SIR!

Nice looking setup - is the bridge over the loading port an Anschutz accessory that's supplied with the rifle?

Don't really care what it looks like... How well does it shoot?

I know this is a little old now however I was in the NSRA yesterday and they had one on the wall. I'm not sure if its because its in a black stock but the action was just the standard blued finish. Looked really underwhelming compared to the original press photos, which is a real shame in my opinion.
