Savage-Anshultz?

[MUP]

My buddy called me yesterday and said he found one for sale. Does anyone know about these rifles? He said the guy told him it was a product of the two companies "before they split".

 

[Mark M.]

I believe savage imported them.

I believe savage imported them.

Correct. Anschutz-Savage we’re built by Savage.

I did some research on these a year or two back looking for a low cost target rifle. Looked at one locally. What I found out deterred me from buying one. If your buddy is determined to buy it have him borescope it and test the trigger first. It's a basic entry level target rifle, don't expect an Olympic grade rifle

I have a Savage-Anschutz 10D, which I bought from our club when they replaced all their “youth” league rifles. From my reasearch I was under the impression that Anschutz built them for Savage, but that could wrong. The rifle shoots pretty good, but the biggest problem is the trigger. It is about 4# and that is after I’ve done everything possible to lighten it, but it has no creep. The trigger is unique and I’ve had no luck finding a replacement.

Depends on which rifle it is. My father-in-law had a Savage/Anschutz model 54 sporter that had a "hump" in the barrel. It was built on the 54 action and basically the predecessor to the Anschutz 54 sporter. Certainly NOT an entry level rifle. Almost the same rifle as my 1422D Meistergrade. He passed away and it now belongs to brother-in-law

The well-known strategist and tactician Sergeant Hans Shultz had a sister, Ann. Bearing a striking resemblance to her better known brother, if you can imagine her as angry and fierce, she might be "savage Ann Shultz.



More seriously, Savage imported Anschutz rifles in the 1960s and '70s (perhaps into the early '80s). They were Anschutz-made and had a Savage Anschutz stamp and model number. For its part Anschutz imported to Europe some Savage-made rifles. They were called Anschutz-Savage and shouldn't be confused with the German-made rifles.

I had a model 64 in the 60s. It was a less expensive target rifle than the Olympic model 54 versions, or the Winchester 52 of that time. There will be nothing wrong with it if in good condition. Wish I still had that rifle.

I have had a few of the savage anschutz rifles over the years. The 12D was a great entry level target rifle. The aluminum trigger housings did eventually wear out, after tens of thousands of rounds. There was also a 2000 if I remember correctly. I would buy another if I had the chance.

I know nothing! Noth-ing!

Boooo

I also bought a used Savage-Anschutz on a Model 64 Action from my club. It has about a 25" barrel. The trigger is certainly not the equal of my Walther or a Model 54Annie, but still better than most factory ones. Mine has a few rough spots about 4' from the breach and I am having it shortened and rechambered as well as re-crowned. I use it in informal BR and BR Silhouette.

 

[Curmudgeon]

I have Savage Anchutz not to be confused with Anchutz Savage. Mine made in Germany. Trigger needed work. Used a Savage accu trigger spring, actually just part of it, now pulls just more than 1 lb. No creep. Nice little single shot 22.

I heard she moved to Toronto to fit in.

Hi. I have the Savage Anschutz repeater & a single shot match 64. Both are good shooters after bedding and minor improvements. They do not compare to the $2,500 plus custom rimfires. Mine have adjustable triggers and are set at 12oz & 4oz. I hope that helps.

 

[MUP]

Well he did purchase the rifle but I still haven't seen it yet. Will report on condition and accuracy when available.

I own a Savage/Anshutz model 64. Savage contracted Anshutz to make them. It's stamped Savage Anshutz made in West Germany on the barrel. Mine is very accurate and I wouldn't mind selling it. I am getting up in age. Cleveland, Ohio area.

Very true. I have a Savage Anshutz 54 Sporter as well and it's the same rifle as any 54 actioned sporter rifle of it's time other than having the importer name "Savage" on it. My father purchased it new in the 70's and it still shoots on par with the 1710 I had. I actually prefer the older 54 trigger because it has an overtravel stop unlike the newer 54 triggers.
