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 1771 Rifle Review

Anschutz 1771 is a centerfire bolt-action rifle derived from Anschutz 1781, made for short-action. It can be used for both, hunting and sport shooting, as it is incredibly precise.

Its push-feed steel action consists of a robust bolt with two rows of three locking lugs and an adjustable trigger that comes preset at 1200 g (2.64 lbs) but can be adjusted from 1000 to 2000 g (2.2 to 4.4 lbs). The rifle gets cocked by opening the bolt, which moves smoothly and opens at a sixty-degree angle. The pull length equals 363 mm (14.3-inches). A two-position safety is attached to the rear right of the action in form of a catch. The extractor grabs the case of a cartridge extremely firmly thanks to the flawless mechanism behind it. Mounting scopes onto the rifle is simple as it comes equipped with a Picatinny rail, giving the buyer plenty of options.

The rifle's default barrel is 520 mm (20.5-inches) long, while its overall length is 1029 mm (40.5-inches). Its detachable magazine has a capacity of 4+1 cartridges.
