How long before we see one of these in 22 Lr??? Everyone will have to have one, 1712's will be for sale everywhere, put off that custom silhouette rifle job and start saving money!

I think the price on these is supposed to be somewhere in the $3500 range, and evidently the .22lr is already on its way.

Nice, I miss my Fortner action and would certainly consider one in .22 if for no more then fun.

Nice. Not $3,500 nice, but nice.

Bob my bet is, if made in .22, it will be a lot less than that or they should only expect to sell very few of them in today's business climate.

I think the full blown biathalon rifle is 3500.00, the stock on it is 750.00 plus whatever they value the sights at, a sporter should be cheaper by a significant amount.

Check this out, gold plated Anschutz! And it's cheap, well cheap probably isn't the right descriptor.

Steve Boelter confirmed the price at $3500 for the .17hmr version.

Local gun shop has 2 used Browning T-Bolts for sale $500 each. Don't know how MUCH better the Anschutz is, but $3K in ammo is a lot of practice.

Makes my Quad seem inexpensive.

"Price of the new model 1727 is estimated at “around $2,000.00″ and rifles should be available in the USA by mid-April. Initially, the model 1727 will be released in 17 HMR only. However, Anschutz reps stated that, sometime down the road, Anschutz might produce versions of this gun chambered for the 17 Hornet or new 17 Win Super Mag."

It'll be interesting to see what it really ends up selling for. It seems like a custom Fortner action selling for $2000 is a little low.

Hmmmm... Strange.

Who would have thought?

Word is that ISS has one for under $2800, but it's not on their website. Well, if you do the buy now price of $3495 on GB ( I like that stock quite a bit ), pay for the FFL fees, shipping, and then we split shipping to my FFL, and I give you $3000, you guys can carpool to the bank laughing at all the money you made.

You can buy a whole mess of those little rubber donuts to put a barrel and start pounding out 40's like there is not tomorrow.

In that link, Lutz is thinking in Euros, not US dollars. I think he had a touch of jetlag or maybe too much at dinner last night.

If they offer a .22lr version, it will be the same price. Why would you imagine it being much less?

I'm curious, when you had the chance to shoot one, what was your impression? I'm guessing you had a chance to shoot one of the test models to arrive at that conclusion. What is the 5020 trigger? Maybe the action was a bit stiffer than you imagined?
