Anschutz 1903 R Tactical Trainer

Greetings,
Figured I'd check in and see if anyone around here has had any experience with one of these rifles. If you have please share I'm considering buying one.

I had one til recently. They are limited edition because of the stock. They only made a few and sold out fast so are pretty rare. The action/barrel is a 64 (1416). It was a good little 22. Awesome trigger and comfy adjustable stock. Annie magazines are not cheap, but to can modify a Savage mag to fit. Mine was very accurate and loved CenterX and Eley Yellow box. Only reason I sold it was to build a 40x 22 to match my competition rifle exactly.

This was the original version.

They sold out of these and re-released it as the one you listed, because they found a few extra stocks to put them in. I know the guys at Anschutz North America and they and I agree that OG stock is a little bit better than the newer.

If you are interested, I have a buddy in Flagstaff that owns one and doesn't shoot his anymore.

If you aren't set on a Annie, check out the new Bergara B14R. I recently picked one up, and I am very impressed. Much more accurate than my CZ 455 Trainer.

I ended up picking up a Cooper 57M Classic and a Swarovski 3-10x42 Rimfire scope. A really nice Squirrel gun and fun to casually poke holes in paper with

I have heard those Cooper's are pretty sweet. Squirrels are not gonna be happy.
