My Model 1574 Anschutz in 222 Rem

[Dutchy357]

Hi Guys

This is my Varminting rifle.

I must have had it for 40 years.

It is an Anschutz Model 1574 in 222 Rem. It has a 4 round detachable box magazine and is topped with a Leupold 4-12 X 40 variable scope on Weaver mounts. I have made sure the barrel is free of the woodwork. I don't have a trigger gauge, but the trigger is sweet.

I believe that the action is actually by Krico, barreled and distributed by Anschutz. I have never bench rested it, but sighting it in, in the field prior to a hunt once, I put 3 factory rounds in to the target at 100 yards and I was able to completely cover the 3 holes with a 2 cent coin. Good enough for me.

I have taken feral cats, foxes, feral goats, kangaroo's (with permit), red deer and fallow deer (all the deer with head shots) with it.

Nice rig. When you know your rifle and have confidence in your ability with it the shots become that much easier.

Cheers for the pics

Lovely looking rifle and very well cared for by the look of it.

Lovely looking rifle and in a great cartridge.

That is a very nice looking bit of timber under that lacquer

I reckon if you sent that stock to the Yass wood whisperer you would find some really decent grain hiding under that varnish just yelling to get out

Thanks for the comments guys

@Flip I'm a bit rusty right now!

@Knackers It's got a few scratches, but all from honest use.

@MISSED & trevort It is a lovely piece of wood. I'm not really a fan of varnish but that's how it came. I don't have the skills to alter it so I have left it alone.

I have a Harris bipod for it but have never fitted it. Because it has such a fine for end I was worried about it pulling the anchor out or splitting the stock. I am in the process of making a separate bipod/shooting stick for it, see how that goes.

Nice looking rifle there Dutchy. Soon as I saw the photo I thought "that sort of looks like an Anschutz", when I read about the Krico angle it all made sense.

Here is a link to a post and a photo of my Anschutz .222.
