My grandfather was a big benchrest/prone shooter back in the day. Unfortunately, him and I weren't super close. I inherited an Anschutz Model 54 Match rifle, and two spare barrel/reciever combos. I'd like to build one of the recievers into a full gun. Anyone have any leads on what bolts/triggers may fit? I've read that the Model 54 is 'rare', yet shares the same action as others.

 

Also.. the complete rifle has a handmade case for it. In it are various NRA Smallbore team patches, along with Cherry Ridge competition patches from the sixties and seventies. Cool stuff.

Would love to see some pictures if you have the capability...

Very nice!

You've inherited what could turn into a black hole for your bank account, if you let it.

And a potential .22LR tack driver, at that.

 

I'm sure there's still a subset of shooters who love their Anschutzes.

I shot my Savage-Anschutz Model 64SL (bottom of the match rifle line that the Model 54 heads) during my time on the Varsity Rifle Team at Lehigh Univ in the mid 70s.

Do a search for an Anschutz forum and I'm sure you'll find the experts and learn more than you'd ever want to know about your new treasure.

Talk to Bob White in Lake Hopatcong.   He can set you up at any level you want.

not rare, expensive.  check bullseye shooter sites
