Description Technical Info
 

Anschutz 1517 HB Thumbhole 23" - 17 HMR - 013528 :
The model 1517 is a modified version of the Match 64 series Anschutz receiver. The external diameter was enlarged from 25 mm to 26 mm. The weight of the receiver was increased by 12 percent to add rigidity. The locking surface was enlarged by 15 percent which leads to even more safety for the shooter when firing a shot. The new shape of the receiver is continued in the firing pin nut which makes the system more elegant. Classic straight hunting stock of colored and lacquered walnut wood without cheek piece, checkering at pistol grip and fore-end, black butt plate and studs for sling swivel.

Features & Design

  • Match trigger
  • Match 64 Barrel
  • Thumbhole stock
  • Cam cocking system with claw extractor with additional cartridge holder and ejector
  • 11 mm grooved receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounts

Advantages of the thumbhole stock:
The modern, ergonomic Anschutz thumbhole stock is easy to handle and provides improved shooting results because your finger and the ball of your hand are always in the optimum position on the pistol grip. The contoured lines of the pistol grip and wrist of the stock keeps your trigger finger in the same position on the trigger blade. In addition, the thumbhole stock provides a rest for your middle finger, which combined with the anatomically-perfect pistol grip provides a stress-free, relaxed shooting position. The Anschutz thumbhole stock allows your thumb to remain fully relaxed. The ergonomically designed straight comb with roll-over cheek piece ensures perfect head and eye positioning in every situation and type of position; a key element which is important for precision shooting.

17 HMR

.17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (4.5x27mmR), commonly known as the .17 HMR, is a rimfire rifle cartridge developed by the ammunition company Hornady in 2002. It descended from the .22 Magnum by necking down the .22 Magnum case to take a .17 caliber (4.5 mm) projectile. Commonly loaded with a 17 grain (1.1 g) projectile, it can deliver muzzle velocities in excess of 775 m/s (2550 ft/s).


Suggested Use

  • Predators
  • Small Game
  • Varmint

Advantages

Faster flight: 2350-2550fps compared to the Hornady 2200fps 22Wmr 30gr rounds

Flatter trajectory

Longer range. Bullets expand better especially at longer ranges e.g. 150 yards

As the round is faster there is less chance of ricochet due to bullet 'break up' at shorter ranges
