Is this the pinnacle of rimfire engineering? In this video, we go hands-on with the Anschütz 1727 APR Competition, a rifle built specifically to dominate the Precision Rifle Series (PRS). Featuring the legendary Fortner straight-pull action, this 19lb beast offers world-class speed and accuracy that have to be seen to be believed. We put it to the test on the range, diving deep into the adjustable chassis, the incredible match-grade trigger, and why this might just be the ultimate “cheat code” for competitive shooting.
