1984 I was the range officer for the NRA with indoor range in New Orleans. I had the opportunity to work with and shoot the Anschutz air rifles back then. Awesome and very accurate!
I had the honor and pleasure of shooting an Anschutz while on my college rifle team back in the late 1960's. It had the capability of shooting a single hole for a 10 shot course. Wished to heck I was up to the task of doing my part in all three positions. I could handle prone but kneeling and off hand were my nemesis. Always dropped a few points at each position. Great memory just got re-activated, thanks.
Yeah, those were the days I must add. Shot many 3 position matches in my time also. Love taking the Annie, BSA, Kimber and other peep guns I have and heading to the range. My old eyes aren't as sharp as they once was but Brent at Creedmore set me up with a nice diopter to sharpen my eyes. Even bigger kick is the expression on the faces of those never used them and I let them try. Even the scoped guys get a kick out of me grouping sub moa at 50 yards and winding up 1 inch spinners at 100 with iron. Just love the classics.
many many many moons ago - I used to shoot an Anschütz in 10m AirRifle on our high school JROTC rifle team (prone, kneeling, and standing). Amazing piece of kit! Oh how I wish I had that rifle back.
Here in Germany in my Biathlon Club, WE use airrifles from Steyr which are based on the original based on the Anschütz' Biathlon rifle and was first build by them. Very accurate, even If the rifle is 10yrs old and older and had thousands of shots trough it
I shoot with some bench rest guys that measure their hole from dead center with a dial test indicator in thousandths of an inch. They have been at it a long time. Some great shooters out there!
I had 1407 with real checkering. Gorgeous wood and super accurate for matches. Brother (2 years younger) had anschutz with the textured forearm. It also was great shooter.
I bought and still at times compete with a Savage Annie model 64 and she does quite well. Those can be picked up for a song. Annie at heart with a Savage name. Should try one out.
Seems like these sales dudes are markedly 'less enthusiastic' about the products than Gavin. I'd say they did a poor job of selling themselves, let alone the products. Well produced video as always, Gav.
Gavin’s job is to present things well in TH-cam format. These guys are professionals at other things. Maybe cut them some slack for not being reality tv performers.
@@twestgard2 I don't have to cut anyone slack for being unfriendly lol. They seemed disinterested in Gavin being there and that doesn't sit well with me period.
We actually were quite happy to have Gavin there. That was right in the Christmas rush and we’re only a 5 person company. Gavin did a great job, but the roughly 9 minute video you see is cut from 6-7 hours of filming
Have been shooting Anschutz since 1971. It’s the ultimate in rimfire accuracy and competition. Once you try one, you’ll start saving your pennies to get your very own Anschutz. Action like a bank vault. Trigger like a feather. Puts bullet after bullet through the same hole.
I bought my first Anschutz today. It’s been a long time coming and I have wanted one since I was kid. It’s an Exemplar model pistol. Can’t ever blame the gun for poor accuracy from this point forward.
Hi Gavin, I just saw your visit Anschutz Distribution Center, you were shooting same rifle I got last fall for my 70th birthday gift from my wife. The model is a 2013. It has 4 action screws into 3 sided square action. It also has 6 nut and bolt tighteners where the barrel joins the action. As I have said I am a senior with a great gun and even better wife. I have great glass on the gun and mostly I shoot 50yds. I have had a .010, .089 and a .003. Thankfully I had other gents at the range with me to witness and measure with me. Playing golf alone and getting hole in one would be like being at the range alone and getting a great 5 shot group. Get an Anschutz, ( it shoots all quality ammo well) bring a Pal, or get those cameras rolling and make some personal history. You should do a video as 22lr is on fire at the ranges these days, and no "Happy Reloading". Cheers from Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada Dave C.
Epic company that doesn't seem to want to keep selling rifles or actually be competitive in the market anymore. The bolt action pistols are no more. The 54-18 is special edition and discontinued, threaded barrel on only the hunter models, are they still press fitting most barrels? Great video and an epic company with history.
My .22lr hunter is an Anschutz and it’s frankly far more accurate than I’ll ever need it to be. I can come middle of the pack off a sand bag on a 200m fly shoot with it. My bench rest .22lr 64mpr is better again and frankly as a average shot feels like I’m cheating.
I understand that those rifles are extremely nice and make no mistake I would love to own one. But the guy giving the tour of the building gave Gavin a really wired look. When Gavin put the test target back on the shelf. That was strange he acted like he didn’t want to even give the tour.
Beachgunner - you’ll save even more by not buying any rifle at all. It’s not a case of having money to burn, if you want to shoot in rimfire competition at anything like a competitive level you don’t by a CZ. The CZ rifles are excellent but are still a world apart from top or even mid level rimfire target rifles (from several makers - not just Anschutz).
Most of us aren't good enough to really ring the accuracy out of an Aschutz but most of us aren't trying to get on an Olympic podium. For people who aren't like most of us, blowing past the point of diminishing returns is not an issue at all. If you really want your head to spin, check out the prices of Grunig + Elmiger or Bleiker rifles. They compete with Anschutz for that market. I got my son an Anschutz 1907 at age 12 because that was basically the minimum buy-in for Olympic-style shooting. Anything less and he wouldn't have stood a chance in competition. Other parents spent even more. Waaaay more. Crazy.
Love my old 1413 super match and the newer 1810 isu model probably the best rimfires in the world. I know that's a bold statement but I believe it to be truth
the German engineers are amazingly good, if not the best, and they work with the metric system 1 thousandth of an mm is more accurate than 1 thousandth of an inch
Is it normal in Alabama to always have your hands in your pants pockets? Very bad image for the brand to serve a guest in that way, in addition to the little interest in showing the products.
I got to say Brent had a bit more energy this time in front of the camera. Austin however...😂. I could feel his awkwardness in front of the camera from here. Props to both of them though 👍🏼
This guys look like they don’t want show nothing around poor Customer service, keep their hand in the pockets all the time in the enter view, from 1 to 10 I give them 2😒😒.
Austin presents himself like he's the weekend clean up man. Very poor presence representing a top tier german manufacturer. Anschutz is to rifles as Mercedes-Benz and BMW to cars. Take your hands out of your pockets and present the product and facility with enthusiasm and professionalism. I'm retired after 47 years with M-B & BMW. I would have a client report me to the Owner and have me fired if I behaved like that. If I were from the German home office that shop would be restaffed asap. Sorry for the rant but your channel is quality and precision presentations. That shop was not.
They are no doubt very capable people but the camo jacket & baseball cap ‘look’ isn’t what I associate with Anschutz (a company who’s products I’ve used competitively for years). Someone may say that it’s only the quality of the rifle which matters (ultimately that’s true) but good presentation is an indication of pride in being associated with a premier product/company. The workforce at Anschutz in Germany display that pride far better.
Nice rifles but this is the company with guys with hands in their pockets, poor representation so lay back I don’t feel to buy anything from people like this.

After using an anschuz, i cant go back to normal rifles
That trigger is way too addictive.
Finest rimfire rifles made. They just shoot. High dollar but high value.
Anschutz rocks!!!!
That’s why I own several 54 match guns.
many many many moons ago - I used to shoot an Anschütz in 10m AirRifle on our high school JROTC rifle team (prone, kneeling, and standing). Amazing piece of kit! Oh how I wish I had that rifle back.

Any one that doesn’t know about the company must have been under a rock , nice tour
I have my 1964 .22 my 1416 and love it . I was given to me on my 12 th birthday and I will never sell it . One of the best rifles ever made
Super nice rifles
I just loved this, fantastic
I shoot with some bench rest guys that measure their hole from dead center with a dial test indicator in thousandths of an inch. They have been at it a long time. Some great shooters out there!
Awesome shop and a great bunch of people there
Incredible rimfire rifles!
I had 1407 with real checkering. Gorgeous wood and super accurate for matches. Brother (2 years younger) had anschutz with the textured forearm. It also was great shooter.
Thank you for showing me something I had very little knowledge of. It was a very interesting change from my mass produced weapons. Thanks again.
And no 1782?!
How could you!
One of the finest hunting rifles ever built.
That was awesome! Thank you!
These beaut’s are way out of my price range but it was very cool to see! Thanks Gavin!
I bought and still at times compete with a Savage Annie model 64 and she does quite well. Those can be picked up for a song. Annie at heart with a Savage name. Should try one out.
My Anschutz 1413 is what I use for smallbore competition.
Seems like these sales dudes are markedly 'less enthusiastic' about the products than Gavin. I'd say they did a poor job of selling themselves, let alone the products. Well produced video as always, Gav.
Well, they don't have to. They sell anyway
Gavin’s job is to present things well in TH-cam format. These guys are professionals at other things. Maybe cut them some slack for not being reality tv performers.
Yeah the guy in the camouflage gave Gavin the most disgusted look when Gavin put the test target back on the shelf that was so strange
@@twestgard2 I don't have to cut anyone slack for being unfriendly lol. They seemed disinterested in Gavin being there and that doesn't sit well with me period.
We actually were quite happy to have Gavin there. That was right in the Christmas rush and we’re only a 5 person company. Gavin did a great job, but the roughly 9 minute video you see is cut from 6-7 hours of filming
I keep hoping you will make something with the Anschütz 1782 as well. A hunting rifle that has it all!
Very cool. Great video Dude!! Cool tour and great inside look.
Cool stuff! Greetings from Germany!
Thank you for joining us from Germany!

I got an Anschutz 1422 with double trigger system, very little information can be found about it.
I was told is was a rare specimen…..
Incredible guns, can't wait to buy my next one.
I miss Jim Hill. They probably don't even know who he is anymore. CREEDMOOR SPORTS
The 22 anshutz 54 action 52 D Remington 40xb are some of the best rifles ever made

Brent is outstanding fellow and always there to help. Always my go to store for anything small bore. Great video and ty for posting.
Du to Covid-19 have to wait to pick up my new 1761 mpr can’t wait
I had the privilege of shooting one of those 22s, if your breath was too thick, you would set off the trigger, it was so fun to shoot. Thanks Gavin.
Wonder if Steve Boelter is still involved with Anschutz. At one time he was in charge if their custom shop. Don't hear of him anymore these days.
I use a shortened and moderated match 54 for rabbits ,, its just as good as it gets , cant say any more than that.
I was hoping to see a bunch of RWS primers
That, or skids of Eley .22 LR ammo.
i own 4 anschutz rifles and love everyone of them
Thank you. Thank you thank you.
My dream is to own one of the Biathlon rifles.

I didn’t even know these rifles are partially made a hour from my house 🤦🏻♂️. I’m going to have to come down and look
My .22lr hunter is an Anschutz and it’s frankly far more accurate than I’ll ever need it to be. I can come middle of the pack off a sand bag on a 200m fly shoot with it.
My bench rest .22lr 64mpr is better again and frankly as a average shot feels like I’m cheating.
I have youth sporter Anschutz i can drive tacks with.
Very cool....!

It's because of Gavin's youtube personality. It can come off as fake.
Get a CZ instead. 20% the cost, unreal out of box accuracy.
If you have $$$ to burn, sure get the Anshutz. Fantastic competition rifles no doubt.

It's like comparing an Alfaromeo with a Lamborghini lol

Creedmoor Sports has been "out of stock" in their rimfire ammo dept. for over a month now.
I've got a nice chunk of R50 on the way from them this week. I'd love to get one of those rifles!
They are amazing!
Where can I get a new barrel for an Achiever?
I would love to shoot one of those air rifles
Had to do a double take on the name.
I wonder if they would build a 22 lr for me...
the German engineers are amazingly good, if not the best, and they work with the metric system 1 thousandth of an mm is more accurate than 1 thousandth of an inch
That's an incredibly ignorant statement.
I want one of those woobie hoodies.
oi amigo, quanto custa um rifle desse?
Is it normal in Alabama to always have your hands in your pants pockets? Very bad image for the brand to serve a guest in that way, in addition to the little interest in showing the products.

👍👍
Have a 1502 17M2. Works. Lol
Baie goed
The tour manager looks uninterested....
Sorry USA, USA, USA
What?
This guys look like they don’t want show nothing around poor Customer service, keep their hand in the pockets all the time in the enter view, from 1 to 10 I give them 2😒😒.

Austin is a gunsmith and a damn good one at that. He’s not a car salesman.
Nice rifles but this is the company with guys with hands in their pockets, poor representation so lay back I don’t feel to buy anything from people like this.
Should be more presentable those caps reduce IQ and quality by 20%
Austin is a poor example of Anschutz rifles and offers nothing for this interview 👎🏻
Very interesting video, but getting Austin to talk is like pulling teeth, pity !!
The guest really having a hard time getting info out of these two guys.
Second
Fine German engineering meets Alabama ... ROFLMAO!!! Who the hell came up with that dumpster fire fever dream?
They seem to do ok there 🤷🏼♂️
