Rifles | 9.3x62 Anschütz 1780 D FL Bolt Action Rifle

Post by caledonianblues »

9.3x62 Anschütz 1780 D FL Bolt Action Rifle
Anschütz hunting rifles are known worldwide for their accuracy, precision design and unbeatable shooting performance. The perfect blend of gunsmithing craftsmanship and high-tech production. Made in Germany since 1856. This particular model is suitable for 9.3x62 cartridges and comes with a magazine that can be loaded with up to 5 cartridges. The 9.3x62 cartridge does not offer the same speed and accuracy as the .300 but it more than makes up for it with unrestrained amounts of raw kinetic energy capable of taking Bear, Moose and even safari class game!

In my opinion, the best rifle in game. A perfect all-rounder, in terms of knocking power and penetration for any mid-size and big game, from distances up to 250 meters.
Not easy to handle on low skill levels, but with a bit of practice it won't disappoint you.

I don't like the camo paint from standard model, but fortunately we have the engraved version!

Rated: Excellent

When i bought this gun i thought it be better to me it has great power but at longer ranges it seems like it falls off a bit power wise. More wobble then most of the other rifles. Does have a decent reload time but had to rate this one Average.

Good gun. The knock-down power is outstanding, but the gun's weight and the wobble let me generally leave it in the weapons cabinet and grab the 8X57 IS Anschütz instead.
And the noticeable bullet drop on longer distances doesn't help, either.

Rated "Good".

A strong rifle with reliable killing on even the largest species in the game, but the rifle is unstable. The availability of a 12x is great but doesn't help with the stability. Hard to shoot but great to kill so to speak.

Rated as average due to wobble and drop off of power over 150m. A beast for close work.

Was my first "250 shot" rifle due to knock down, scope option and range (which I had no problem with)

Even with the 7mm Raptors lightness in comparison, it will always remain among my favourites.
