The Anschutz 1761HB XRS offers an excellent combination of accuracy and utility. It comes equipped with the 1761 action – an extremely reliable system developed over the course of 3 years by the master gunsmiths of Anschutz’s factory in Ulm, Germany. Each component of the 1761 action is precisely machined and hand fitted, resulting in a short bolt throw of 60° with a smooth operation and minimal effort needed to cycle the action. Features of the 1761 action include a roller-bearing cocking piece to reduce the effort to cock the rifle, 3 robust locking lugs, and a spring/plunger ejector to ensure maximum reliability. Other features of the Anschutz 1761HB include a 5061 trigger, which delivers an exceptional 2-stage pull and can be finely adjusted for pull weight. The 21.4" barrel features a heavy profile and a muzzle crown. The combination of the crisp, 2-stage trigger and heavy barrel gives the 1761HB outstanding accuracy.
The barrel, action and trigger are precisely fitted into an MDT XRS Chassis. This stock/chassis combines the look and feel of a traditional rifle stock with the performance of a modern precision rifle chassis system. This fusion of a stock and chassis gives the 1761HB XRS unmatched versatility, and is highly suited for virtually any application from hunting, to plinking, to competition. The XRS chassis is constructed from 6061 aluminum for both durability and reduced weight. The chassis is then finished with high strength composites for additional rigidity and to feel more like a stock. The stock itself is fully adjustable, offering 13" length of pull adjustment range (can be increased with spacers), and a 1.5" cheek height adjustment range. The stock's adjustability is perfectly complimented by the XRS's interchangeable grips, giving the user the option of a straight or angled grip – both of which are included. In addition, the XRS chassis includes a barricade stop, and a wide forend for incrased stability.
