Sights / Optics: The pistol has a claw mount scope ring set (four in total), holding a Leupold 2-7x Vari-X IIc, which is NOT an extended eye relief scope; you have to move your face right behind the pistol to see, though with the heavy build, .22 is not going to kick it into your face; we recommend hearing and eye protection. The scope body has a few scuffs, the objectives need a cleaning but are free of damages. Also included is the pistol’s original iron sights; the front sight is a post in a serrated ramp base, covered with a black hood. The rear sight is a square notched target leaf, on a base that is adjustable for windage and elevation. Additionally, the scope comes with a set of lens covers, in Fine condition.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The trigger breaks at about 1 ¾ lbs, the bolt handle is on the left side of the action, to benefit right handed shooters. We did not fire this handgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes with a Leupold scope, its original sights and one 5 round magazine, all in about Fine to Excellent condition as photographed.
Our Assessment: .22 Long Rifle is inexpensive, low cost, low recoil and very fun to plink with. Some take it a step further and get into target shooting; if you were around in the 70’s and 80’s Anschutz was a household name for competitors and hobbyists who felt like making a group no bigger than a dime at 50 yards. This pistol should be able to do that, with the option of its original sights or the installed Leupold scope. While we did not get a chance to shoot it, we don’t see any reason why this gun could not get you to the top ranks at your local shooting club with a few practice runs. If you keep it in good order, it will also appreciate down the road.
