    Inside Anschütz: 170 Years of Rifle Innovation

    What happens when 170 years of German rifle manufacturing meets the growing world of competitive precision rifle shooting? In this episode of the PRS Podcast, we're joined by representatives from Anschütz Germany and Anschütz North America at the 2026 PRS Rimfire Finale in Finger, Tennessee, to discuss the company's history, its legendary reputation in Olympic shooting, and its expansion into the Precision Rifle Series. We sit down with the president of Anschütz in Germany to explore how six generations of family ownership have helped shape one of the most recognized names in precision rifle manufacturing. The conversation covers Anschütz's history, its success in Olympic biathlon, and the development of the Fortner straight-pull action that has become a defining feature of its rifles. We also take a closer look at the Anschütz 1727 APR, a rifle designed to bring the speed and precision of biathlon technology into competitive PRS rimfire shooting. The team discusses the rifle's development, its performance at international competitions, and the feedback they've received from shooters around the world. From adjustable triggers and new dry-fire capabilities to chassis configurations, rifle balance, and ammunition lot testing, we explore the engineering and attention to detail behind Anschütz products. The team also shares insights into its German manufacturing facility, extensive quality-control procedures, and the testing every rifle undergoes before reaching customers. Plus, we discuss the future of Anschütz in PRS, the differences between European and American shooters, and how feedback from competitors continues to influence the company's approach to rifle development. Whether you're a competitive rimfire shooter, a fan of Olympic biathlon, or simply interested in precision rifle engineering, this episode offers a closer look at the history, technology, and people behind Anschütz. #Anschutz #PrecisionRifleSeries #PRSRimfire #Rimfire
