Anschutz 1727 F

The History of Anschutz

On the first of July in 1856, the son of the master gunsmith Johann Heinrich Gottlieb Anschütz, Julius Gottfried Anschütz founded the company J.G. ANSCHÜTZ in Zella-Mehlis, Thuringia. Forty years later, they relocated from the small workshop to their first factory with 76 employees. The founder of the J.G. ANSCHÜTZ company passed away in 1901. His sons Fritz and Otto took over their father's work. The latter died in 1923. The company was continued by Fritz August Anschütz supported by his two sons Max Fritz and Rudolf Charles Anschütz, the third ANSCHÜTZ generation. The factory was closed down and then destroyed and seized after the war.

1950 was the year of a fresh start in the Danube Bastion in Ulm where the company J.G. ANSCHÜTZ GmbH was founded. 7 people and 20 machines initially handled air pistols and gun repairs; afterward, Flobert rifles (rimfire rifles) and Match rifles were added. After the first sport shooting success, further successes came one after the other. Max Schmeling, a former boxing champion, also competed for Germany on the clay pigeon shooting national team. He was familiar with ANSCHÜTZ rifles because he was a target shooter and a hunter. He purchased some of them in Ulm and even suggested a change in the company's logo.

Dieter Anschütz, a member of the fourth generation, took over management in 1968 and proved himself as a good leader. The catchphrase "DIE MEISTER MACHER" was born out of the achievements of the ANSCHÜTZ target actions across the globe. It still holds true today. As managing director since 1992, Jochen Anschütz continues to administer the company with the aid of his son.

Anschutz 1727 F Rifle Review

Anschutz 1727 F is a straight-pull rimfire rifle with incredible precision. The action is essentially a modified version of an action from a comparable Anschutz biathlon 1827 F model. Both are manufactured by Fortner, which works on Anschutz's behalf, resulting in a premium rifle targeted for the hunting market.

The receiver is equipped with an 11 mm dovetail rail that is screwed into the surface with six holes (usually as two bases screwed into two holes each), four in the back of the mounting surface and two in the front. Anschutz 1727 F's bolt is designed with seven steel balls, helping the rifle achieve its implausible reloading speed. The magazine is detachable and holds up to five cartridges. To further improve the already great rifle, it is also equipped with a two-stage Match grade trigger.

The rifle's barrel measures about 560 mm (22 inches), while its overall length equals 1040 mm (40.9 inches).

General features of Mono-block Scope Mounts

All of the mono-block scope mounts have in common that both scope rings are made of one piece of material. Making a whole mount of one piece of raw material is usually possible by milling. These mounts are normally made for tactical applications, because they can be used in the toughest conditions. They are normally made out of one piece of hiqh quality aluminium alloy (like 7075T6), because steel might be too heavy for such applications. Steel is normally used only with the screws or claws that hold scope mount onto the Picatinny rail. However, there are some manufacturers which make nice mono-block mounts for hunting applications also (Spuhr, ERA-TAC Ultralight, etc.).

This type of mounts is suitable for use on Picatinny rails. Although, there are other rail standards that are known as common practice: 11 mm (AI), 16.5 mm (Tikka, Sako TRG), 19 mm (CZ 550)... They can be quick detachable or fixed (however, most of them are fixed).

Mono-block mounts for tactical rifles

Mono-block mounts for tactical rifles might be nearly perfect to use and main reasons for that can be found in:

rigidness,
hardness,
durability,
reliability and
precision.

They offer perfect ring alignment which is the key to not damaging or flexing your scope. Large contact surface between the scope and the mount might also be a favourable factor. Lapping during the process of mounting the scope is not needed. In addition, bedding is also not needed. All of the text above is true if we are talking about mounts of proper quality.

On the other hand, you have to be prepared for a (usually) bulky appearance and less adjustable length for proper eye relief.

Other Features of Mono-block Scope Mounts

Tactical mono-block scope mounts, made of high quality, normally have more than just one recoil stopper.

Some of the manufacturers (like Spuhr) advise their customers to oil surfaces between their mount and Picatinny rail before the mounting of them. They also advise to use resin between rings and rifle scope.

A lot of mono-block mounts offer additional attachment points on their rings. These attachment points are normally used for red-dots, lasers, rangefinders, angle indicators, etc. Bubble levels are also common on these mounts (on the rear side of the mount – Tier One, Spuhr,...). These bubble levels are aligned with the Picatinny rail under them.

Practically all of tactical mono-block mounts use 6 – 8 screws for tightening the scope. It is very rare for such mounts to use only 4 screws. With tactical mounts, rings are normally divided 50:50 (upper and lower part of the ring, tightened with screws), which is different than with other, for example hunting mounts, where rings are divided in different ratio – for example 60:40 (upper / lower part of the ring). In this case, upper part is bigger than the lower part, which in practice means that scope is embraced by the upper part of the ring a little bit more.

Tactical mono-block mounts are the most common mount form with inclination. If mounts are made with inclination, it is usually:

10 MOA,
20 MOA or
30 MOA.

These type of mounts are great for long range shooting, because they offer a whole new possibilities for long range shooters. Majority of the mono-block mounts with inclination, is 20 MOA. However, there are mounts up to 70 MOA on the market (for example: Era-Tac from Recknagel).
