Chapter 01

Overview

A straight-pull rimfire for hunters, its action taken from Anschütz’s biathlon rifles and adapted to the hunt; the maker calls it perhaps the fastest small-bore straight-pull on the market. The Fortner straight-pull behind it, developed by Peter Fortner in 1984 and built with Anschütz, brought the company its breakthrough in biathlon.

Chapter 02

How it works

The index finger opens the action and the thumb closes it again, all4shooters found, cocking it in under a second, with a lock time of 3.5 to 4 ms and an adjustable two-stage match trigger. In the biathlon 1727 and 1827, Wikipedia notes, the straight-pull locks on six ball bearings.

Chapter 03

Variants

Anschütz builds it in a German stock of oiled walnut with hog’s back, German cheekpiece and fine chequering, in .17 HMR and in .22 l.r. with a black receiver. The 1727 APR and APR Competition put the same biathlon-derived action in adjustable stocks with heavy barrels for PRS-style rimfire competition.

Chapter 04

In the field

all4shooters reads the .17 HMR rifle, with a 558 mm barrel and a five-round detachable magazine, as built for target shooting and varmint hunting alike. The maker’s case is minimal movement while reloading and firing and very fast ejection and reloading, advantages it calls very important in the hunt.
