Anschutz 275 loveliness

[Mr Bond]

Most of my rifles get a few shots from time to time to check them and keep them right. I think it's wise and most of us here will do it.

Today, the turn for my first Anschutz 275.

I have one I put in a K98 stock, which is a common mod, especially in Germany, but this one is pretty standard.



Bolt cocking (as a centrefire) and mag fed via either 6, 8 or 12 shot mags that go under the front directly behind the rifled solid steel barrel.



Just make sure you use 4.4mm LEAD BBs, not 4.5mm STEEL BBs, or you'll smash the feeder on firing.



Not so common now, but were ubiquitous as fairground guns in their day. Perfect as relatively low power, and a hardy little action.


(BTW, 3D printed loader is to be found on "Thing verse").

It's accurate too, out to 10 yards or more, these are great cheap fun, but are open to wind drift much beyond that.

Ammo is still available, 750 shots for just a tenner.

The originals were (I believe) for indoor 6 m shooting, which it must have excelled at.

That's lovely
My dad had one and it was amongst my earliest shooting memories .

I remember shooting them at fairgrounds too .

They're lovely rifles (They do have a rifled barrel and shoot 4.4mm lead BB's)..

They were still being produced until recently, Maybe 20 years since Annie made them obsolete..

Here's mine..

I had been after a 12shot mag for years for mine but they always sold really quickly on fleabay, Out of the blue a German friend asked me if I wanted one (On Facey), I jumped at one, he wouldn't let me pay him for it or even postage (Was posted from Switzerland)!!


I also have an Anschutz 250 10m match rifle but the damper needs re sealing!

I remember shooting these at the fairground but haven't seen any in recent years. Out of interest, what sort of power output do they have?

Typically 3 or 4 foot pounds. It is quite accurate, and because it's a relatively light projectile, fairly quick.

The fun is in the quick fire action as well as the accuracy

Thanks for that, as you say, it's the fun factor with these.
