Anschütz / Anschutz has five primary rifle actions: the foundational Match 54; the variant 54.30; the practical 64; the new swap-barrel 1761; and the straight-pull Fortner biathlon action.
Model 54 Action
These rifles include the single-shot 1907, 1913, and 2013 match rifles. The 2013 action is an updated variant of the Match 54 single shot with an extended and squared bedding area and clamp-style barrel attachment.
For silhouette and modern precision, shooting the 17xx line is the most widely used.
In 2015, Anschütz updated the single-shot 54 action with the 54.30 and reduced the overall action length by 18 percent. This change made the action stiffer and lessened the movement required by positional shooters to cycle it.
The older Anschutz Super Match 1813 is an example that uses the Model 54 action with a 5018 trigger. The Olympic 84 1813s were made using select barrels, not just special barrel markings and serial numbers
Model 64 Action
Savage imported these rifles as Savage-Anschütz. These are high quality accurate rifles but not considered as potentially accurate as the Model 54 Action rifles.
Anschütz discontinued the 64 in favor of the newer 1761 action.
The 64 action is a scaled-down lightweight version of the 54, which suits sporter rifles and small game guns.
Model 1761 Action
The 1761 action has been designed to replace the 64 as a light, all-purpose, and cost-effective platform.
Fortner Action
The flagship biathlon guns and the 1727 F line of sporting rifles use this straight-pull action named after its inventor. Straight pulls operate faster than classic turn bolts, with less motion required to cycle them.
1451 Action
The 1451 action is Anschütz entry level action, which is lightweight in design, utilizes cam cocking, and has a lateral sliding safety. It is currently used in the Models 1451 D KL, 1451 R Sporter Target, and 1451 Target. The Anschutz 1451 is a Flobert II action of lesser value. This is a simple bolt-action rimfire rifle designed for ease of use and maintenance.
