Anschutz 64R Rifles
Rob Wilkinson
Late last year Anschutz announced the 64R limited edition rifles. These rifles use the model 1416 .22lr barreled actions in either the 23" barrel or the factory threaded 18" barrels with 1/2x28 threads. Both the 23" and the 18" variants came with the amazing two stage 5098 trigger. The rifles came in a biathlon style stock that has adjustable length of pull, a fully adjustable comb, and can hold (4) 5 round or 10 round magazines.
These rifles were a limited run of 100 rifles. As of a couple weeks ago, Anschutz North America is now completely sold out of 64R rifles. I was able to grab the last (6) rifles ANA had in stock. I am down to 4 rifles remaining. I have them at their list price of $1,399. Another dealer that has at least one in stock has raised their Gun Broker price to $1,549 now that ANA has sold out of the rifles.
This rifle is an incredible bang for your buck. The fully adjustable stock is so easy to get behind. The rifles are tack drivers out of the box. The 5098 trigger is phenomenal. The 18" threaded barrels have been extremely popular and are a fantastic platform for running suppressed.
If you have been on the fence about purchasing one of these rifles or just now hearing about them and are interested in one. I would recommend grabbing one before they are gone. After speaking with ANA, it sounds unlikely that they will bring any more of these state side. The new stock design for these rifles, no longer has an adjustable cheek riser and the MSRP would be in excess of $2,000 for the rifle that has replaced this model in Europe.
