The History of Anschutz

On the first of July in 1856, the son of the master gunsmith Johann Heinrich Gottlieb Anschütz, Julius Gottfried Anschütz founded the company J.G. ANSCHÜTZ in Zella-Mehlis, Thuringia. Forty years later, they relocated from the small workshop to their first factory with 76 employees. The founder of the J.G. ANSCHÜTZ company passed away in 1901. His sons Fritz and Otto took over their father's work. The latter died in 1923. The company was continued by Fritz August Anschütz supported by his two sons Max Fritz and Rudolf Charles Anschütz, the third ANSCHÜTZ generation. The factory was closed down and then destroyed and seized after the war.

1950 was the year of a fresh start in the Danube Bastion in Ulm where the company J.G. ANSCHÜTZ GmbH was founded. 7 people and 20 machines initially handled air pistols and gun repairs; afterward, Flobert rifles (rimfire rifles) and Match rifles were added. After the first sport shooting success, further successes came one after the other. Max Schmeling, a former boxing champion, also competed for Germany on the clay pigeon shooting national team. He was familiar with ANSCHÜTZ rifles because he was a target shooter and a hunter. He purchased some of them in Ulm and even suggested a change in the company's logo.

Dieter Anschütz, a member of the fourth generation, took over management in 1968 and proved himself as a good leader. The catchphrase "DIE MEISTER MACHER" was born out of the achievements of the ANSCHÜTZ target actions across the globe. It still holds true today. As managing director since 1992, Jochen Anschütz continues to administer the company with the aid of his son.

Anschutz 1782 Rifle Review

Anschutz 1782 is a hunting bolt-action rifle with integrated Picatinny grooves. Its push-feed steel action consists of a robust bolt with two rows of three locking lugs and an adjustable trigger, which comes preset at 1100 grams (2.4 lbs) and can be adjusted anywhere from 400 to 1550 grams (0.9 to 3.4 lbs).

The two-position safety is in form of a catch at the rear right of the action. The steel detachable magazine holds three or five cartridges. Anschutz rifles come with plenty of stock options. All of them come with QD sling studs and a slim, rubber recoil pad. The caliber choice is not massive, yet reasonable with some of the most common calibers on the market. The distance between the Picatinny grooves is about 96 mm, which is called the B distance.

The rifle's default barrel is 520 mm (20.5-inches) long, while its overall length is 1029 mm (40.5-inches).
