Hi I have just ordered the Anschutz 1761 .22 with 20 inch barrel. Who has experience of Anschutz .22s and what ammunition would you recommend for competition from 25 to 100 bench rest

Thanks

I shoot BR with an Anschutz Match 54. It seems to like SK Match and Eley top end stuff.

I have just ordered the new 1761 with the thumbhole stock and 20inch barrel. In my existing rifle SK match is good at 25 and RWS R50 is (so far) the best for 50,

Don't be tempted to try high velocity for 100 yards. It's a waste of time, no accuracy and more affected by wind.

My two 1613's are happy with SK Std Plus and SK Rifle Match, or Eley Match. Every rifle will be different, but using good quality ammunition helps to prevent a lot of tears. ;)

I like SK as the cost is so much less. Have you tried Lapua Cntre X? Some of the members have had good results

Lapua Midas works very well in most Anschutz but have deep pockets

Yup I like SK match at 25 and as I'm out of R50 I'm going to use SK match at 50 this weekend
