Anschutz 1710 HB MDT Chassis: Precision 22LR Match Rifle

The Anschutz 1710 HB MDT Chassis is a purpose-built.22 LR match rifle designed for shooters who demand consistent, repeatable accuracy from the bench or the line. Built around the legendary Anschutz Match 54 bolt action, this rifle pairs a heavy 20-inch stainless steel barrel with an MDT ACC aluminum chassis system, replacing traditional wood or synthetic stocks with a fully adjustable, rigid platform. The result is a rifle that holds zero shot after shot, session after session, whether you’re training for competition or refining fundamentals at the range.

Every component of this rifle reflects Anschutz’s decades of experience building world-class rimfire target rifles. The two-stage 5119 trigger breaks with a clean, predictable pull that lets shooters focus entirely on sight alignment and follow-through, while the optimized match chamber and recessed target crown work together to protect accuracy from the first round to the last. Chambered in versatile 22 Long Rifle, this rifle suits everything from junior smallbore programs to serious NRA and ISSF-style competition, giving new and experienced shooters alike a dependable foundation to build their marksmanship skills on.

Key Features and Benefits

The heart of this rifle is the Anschutz Match 54 bolt action, long regarded as one of the smoothest and most reliable actions in competitive rimfire shooting. Combined with the 20-inch stainless steel heavy barrel, the system minimizes barrel whip and heat-induced stringing during extended strings of fire. The 1:16.5-inch rate of twist is matched specifically to 22 Long Rifle match ammunition, stabilizing bullets for tight, consistent groups at typical smallbore distances. A blued metal finish over the barreled action resists handling wear and corrosion, keeping the rifle looking and performing like new through seasons of practice and competition.

The standout feature of this configuration is the MDT ACC aluminum chassis, which replaces a conventional stock with a modular, fully adjustable system. Shooters can fine-tune length of pull, comb height, and grip angle to dial in a natural, repeatable cheek weld and shoulder position every time the rifle comes up. The chassis accepts a 10-round detachable magazine for quick reloads between strings, and threaded swivel studs make it simple to add a sling or bipod for supported positions. This adaptability makes the rifle equally at home on a squeeze bag rest or in offhand smallbore competition.

Beyond the chassis and action, this rifle is finished with details that matter to serious shooters. Checkering on key contact points improves grip security in wet or gloved conditions, while the 1/2×28 threaded muzzle accepts common suppressors and muzzle devices for shooters who want reduced report and recoil. At just over 10 pounds, the rifle carries enough mass to stay steady on the aiming point without becoming a burden during long training sessions. Every one of these touches reflects Anschutz’s philosophy that a rifle should disappear in the shooter’s hands, leaving only the fundamentals of sight picture and trigger control.
