Anschutz Help, Please

[260Rem700CBM]

Am wondering about the Anschutz-Savage Model 184 in .22LR. Is this a Savage built 110 action or an Anschutz action? I've been unable to find a definitive answer. Thanks.

I don't have a definitive answer, but there was such a thing as an Anschutz 184 .22 lr made during the time Savage was importing them here.

By the way, the nomenclature convention is that a Savage-Anschutz (like the one in the next room was made by Anschutz and sold in the USA by Savage. An Anschutz-Savage was made by Savage and sold in Europe by Anschutz. Also, the Savage 110 action is centerfire only.

ANSCHÜTZ RIFLES: BOLT ACTION, DISC.
Sile Distributors located in NY acted as an import agent during the early 1960´s which can be identified by Sile barrel markings. Savage imported Anschütz rifles were available from 1963-1981 and also have Savage/Anschütz barrel markings. While some of those models might not be listed below, refer to models of similar caliber and quality that are listed to ascertain values. During the period when Savage was importing Anschütz rifles, certain models in the Anschütz line were designated either "Savage-Anschütz" or "Anschütz-Savage" for sales by Savage in the U.S. Conversely, certain models manufactured by Savage were designated "Anschütz-Savage" for sale by Anschütz in Europe. Some of these models did not have any modifications but others were restocked, supplied with different sights, and had other different features from their original counterparts. In most cases, the original model numbers were used. Some "Anschütz-Savage" rifles have made their way into the U.S. While somewhat rare, these rifles are typically based on the Savage Model 110 action. They are not as desirable as those "Savage-Anschütz" marked rifles utilizing the superior Anschütz actions. Anschütz also manufactured between 1,000-2,000 rifles utilizing SAKO actions in .222 Rem. cal. in the late 50´s-early 60´s. These guns will approximate values shown on the discontinued centerfire models listed below. Currently, Anschütz offers 3 different actions. The 1451 action is Anschütz´s entry level action, which is lightweight in design, utilizes cam cocking, and has a lateral sliding safety. The 1451 action is currently used in the Models 1451 D KL, 1451 R Sporter Target, and 1451 Target. The Match 64 utilizes a cam cocking system with claw extractor and ejector, grooved receiver, and sliding safety on the right side behind the bolt. The Model 64 match action is used on the Model 1416 and variations, 1418, 64MP R, 1516, 1517 D Classic, 1517 D HB Classic, 1517 D Monte Carlo, 1517 M PR, and the Model 64 Target pistol. The Match 54 is Anschütz´s top-of-the-line action, and features dual locking lugs on the bolt which are seated eccentricaly in the receiver, allowing more support for improved stock bedding. It also features a cam cocking bolt, 2 position pivot rear safety, and is drilled and tapped. The Match 54 action is currently utilized on the 1710 series, 1712D, 1717, 1720, 1730 series, 1733, and 1740 models. The models below have been listed in numerical sequence.

My sporting arms encyclopedia lists the 184 as made in Germany by Anschütz and imported by Savage.

My records show the Savage Anschutz 184 to be a new model in the 1973 Savage catalog. It had a model 64 action just as the previous models141 and 164 did.The 184 had a 21 1/2 inch barrel. The manufacturig date is usually shown on the levt side o fthe barrel as you hold the back of the rifle.
