So, I got a chance to shoot an Anschutz 1813 Supermatch today. Wow, just wow. It was privately owned, and purchased some 30+ years ago by the owner. What an amazing shooter. I have a friend with a 1950's era remington scoremaster, and I was beyond impressed with its accuracy (8" steel at 100 was a snap with irons); but this Anschutz, with its factory peeps, was just plain awesome. Figured this was the place to bring it up, and see if im just reading to far into it, or if they are truly the $2k masterpiece they appear to be.

They are exceptionally accurate and, if you're looking for a single shot rifle, they are among some of the best, if not the best out there.
Single shot was the only thing I could do without. Bolt action, awesome. Isnt there an anschutz that is straight bolt?/side charge?, and mag fed? Regardless, for a bench gun, definitely sweet
I have a Anschutz mod 1413 54 super match that is of 1958 vintage and is topped with a period correct 20x Unertl tgt optic. It is the most accurate 22 that I own and one of the two most accurate rifles that I own. The fit, the finish and the quality is superb. I have three other rifles that come close to it:
Winchester Mod 52 with 6-24x BalVar optic - similar weight, quality and accuracy but the trigger is not as good and mine is well worn.
Remington Mod 540XR with 36x Sightron - similar accuracy but the action is lighter and flimsy and the bbl takes 10sh to warm up
Vostok CM2 with 6-24x optic - built like a Soviet tractor, rough and tough. Finish is s#!t but it shoots good. Best peeps of all of them.
But the annie outshoots them all. When it is set up and running on a calm day it is a 10x every shot. I posted a pic of a 5 shot group at 50y and a string of groups from the same tgt on the same day and a pic of the rifle. It is heavy, useless for hunting and the Unertl is very unwieldy since its fine adjustments are slow to make and tedious to mess with. It is good for one thing. Punching holes in paper. It does that job very well. So, I have to agree with the OP, the Anschutz is all that. A quality match custom rifle will still out shoot it by enough margin to matter. So, if you want a repeater and match accuracy, a Vudoo might be a better choice. Similar cost. If you want a piece of functional shooting art, the Anschutz is a good choice.

They are pretty cool, but there are some higher levels of rimfire rifles out there:

Having worked for Anschutz for a number of years, yes. They do a very good job and I think are worth the money for those who are bitten by the rimfire bug.

This one addicted me to accurate rifles and two-stage triggers.
Nice rifle and stock SmileMaker! I'd love to have a non thumbhole stock for my 54.18's!
If anyone is interested I have an 1813 I'd sell. My father passed 2 years ago and I have my own already. The barrel was cut down to 22 inches to see weight. At 90 he still shot her! The stock needs some work. It comes with sights, palm rest, weights, and hand stop. $1500 shipped. She still shoots I tested her out this summer.
