Serious little piece of machinery. In college, a thousand years ago, I used an Anschutz Supermatch and some other Anschutz rifle I don't recall the model.

Today's Supermatch rifles are much more refined, and this "Precise" version seems to take it all a step beyond. Could see this used in match or biathalon.
 
Germans have always over enginered everything from roller bearings in lawn mower engines to their superior sausages. This fine peice of unique art work is no execption.....I am willing to bet in the right hands it could be a 300 yard tack driver even if it is a .22
 
They say once you have finished playing in Highpower Service-rifle shooting, you then go on to Smallbore. Looks like a nice rifle.

Some truth to that. I've asked myself "What would I like to shoot after going Distinguished and if I make the President's 100?" Smallbore comes out on top most often, followed by Highpower match rifle. And I started shooting 50-ft 4-position last winter, much to the benefit of my Highpower prone scores this summer.

As to the OP, if you want to win International level competitions, that's what you shoot. It's crazy only if all you want to do with a .22LR is drill soda cans in the sand pit.
 
Yup. The development of the same rifle I shot back in collegiate 3-position smallbore.

Mine was an Anschutz 1413 ... they still had wood in the stock! :)
 
I shot competition with an Anschutz prone rifle on a team when I was a younger.The X ring at 50 yards was the exact diameter as a .22 bullet.Several ranges used a revolving paper roll behind the target to be able to assure that 5 rounds went through the X.
 
This is where most competitive rifles are going.

The days of the wood stock are long gone, and the synthetic is giving way to aluminum.
Many of the rifles you see on the line are in fact a synthetic cover on an internal aluminum rifle.
Metal takes away the variation of woods and even synthetic.

Reducing variation is what accuracy has always been about. Nothing does that like metal to metal.
 
Do want......... I wonder if I could raise enough funds if I sold my car? Anyone want to buy a car? LOL
