The Anschutz 1710 Heavy Barrel is a precision rimfire bolt-action rifle built on Anschutz's 1710 action — the same action family that underpins Olympic biathlon and 50-meter prone target rifles. The 23-inch heavy barrel provides maximum accuracy for benchrest shooting, rimfire silhouette competition, and small game hunting at ranges to 100 yards. Anschutz's reputation for rimfire precision is unchallenged — their rifles have won more Olympic medals than any other manufacturer across any discipline.
