The models of the series 1516 in cal. .22 WMR have a long tradition at Anschutz. This classic caliber with a bullet diameter of 5.5 mm was launched by Winchester in 1959. It is extraordinarily suitable to be used for small animals up to the size of a fox at a distance of up to 100 m. At this model of the series Match 64 modifications were carried out in the area of the receiver. The external diameter was enlarged from 25 mm to 26 mm. This modification entails a more rigid and safer shooting experience. The new shape of the receiver will be continued in the firing pin nut which makes the system more elegant and attractive.
