Anschutz 1761 HB MSR | .22 LR | 21.4″ Barrel

The Anschutz 1761 HB MSR is a bolt-action .22 LR sporting rifle built for consistent smallbore performance. It pairs a heavy, blued barrel with a silhouette walnut stock and a light two-stage trigger to support precise, repeatable shots. For an optic under $1000 that complements this rifle’s role, consider the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 for a reliable, budget-conscious scope that supports target and training use. Appropriate applications include smallbore target competition and precision training sessions.
