Anschutz 1727 APR

[Budrichard]

NEW!
Pricey!!!
New large magazine to emulate centerfire magazines.
I guess people wanted the larger mag in Europe? or they don't have access to AI stocks?
So is Anschutz NA going to sell the 1727 APR or just continue with the AI platform?

This fixes certain limitations in the AI versions. Heres the 'Design Study' from 2024 for anyone interested.

Looks like a pretty sweet rifle not sure I understand the AICS magazines though, maybe there are limitations with the ordinary 1727/1710 magazine that are hard to overcome.

I like the look of the steel forend version, and it’d nice to see they went with a decently heavy profile barrel.
The base rifle (with steel forend) is around 17lb which is nice you don’t need to go and buy a tonne of weights for it.

Here's a picture of the standard vs competition version. The second image (with black forend) is the solid steel version.
Barrel dimensions 22in x ~1.10 (28mm)

I prefer the AI.

Thanks for posting this.

Man that is THE ULTIMATE!!! I'm so glad they made the thumb tab too!!!!!!

Though I'm surprised they didn't do 12 round mags.

It'd be neat if Anschutz partnered up with a ammo company to make heavier higher BC 22rf bullets and barrels with faster twists to accommodate the ammo.

That's a cool rifle, but "certain limitations in the AI Version" WTF are you talking about?

Hey gents,
If you are thinking of one of these in the future, you may want to act. I spoke with A.N.A. today. They are only getting 6 of these rifles out of the first production run. I got on the list for one so maybe 5 left. I inquired about the “Gas Pedal” which is the thumb assist lever on the bolt.
They are trying to get those shipped in too, and I have been told it’s a super easy installation. I want one for my 1727F in the ATX chassis.
I’d cancel my order if I could find someone that has the expertise to mill out the ATX for RimX mags. I think that would be great for my personal taste.
