Savage/Anschutz 22LR

Adam81
Hello Folks,

Just recently came across this website and a friend said you guys might be able to help me out. I recently inherited a Savage Anschutz .22 Long Rifle. The guns in original condition other than a scope added to it. I fired it for the first time in over 30+ years of sitting and it's very accurate. I'd like to know if someone is familiar with these rifles and could tell me or point me in the right direction of it's history and value. I thought about refinishing the stock but some have said not to.

The barrel has the engraving Savage Anschutz Mark 10 (Caliber .22 Long Rifle) made in West Germany. Off to the right of that is a very small stamped number (67) with an odd looking symbol to the right of that. On the receiver another odd looking stamp then the SN# 661024 and further down the receiver it again states Savage with Westfield Mass under it that and just to the right Anschutz Ulm. West Germany. As far as I can tell thats all the info I can see engraved on this gun.

    In the 1960s and 1970s Savage and Anschutz were in cahoots.
    There were a fair number of Anschutz rifles sold in the USA as Savage-Anschutzes and at least some Savage rifles sold in Europe as Anschutz-Savages. (There were other partnerships, I have an Anshutz-Miroku shotgun very like a Browning Citori to go with my Savage Anschutz rifle.)

    Yours was made in 1967 and proof tested at the German government facility in Ulm, Germany near the Anschutz factory. That is what the 67 and the funky little symbol represent.

    The Mark 10 was their entry level target rifle at the time, on the 64 action. A fine accurate little rifle. I don't see any reason not to refinish the stock, it is not like they are rare collectors items. But do try to do a nice job.

    Thanks Hawk, I appreciate the info I was wondering if it would devalue the rifle by refinishing the stock but now I can breath some life back into it.

    The mark 10 was the first rifle I owned. If you have the better micrometer sites from the model 54's, it will hold its own against many fancier guns. Refinish it if you want, they were made to shoot and shoot a lot, not to be closet queens or collector items.
    If you use in NRA competitions, watch the trigger pull weight, set it at 3lbs and you should be good for any matches. Bob

    babun, I do have the original sight for it, it screws in on the left and has a height and elevation adjustment. Sort of crude looking but it has a screw to the left of the sight that lets me move it either R or L and the screw makes a click with every little movement. Not sure if thats the one your taking about as I don't see any detailed info on it.

    Not the good one. The better target sites slide onto the grooved top of the receiver. Has micrometer adjustments for up/down and left/right.
    Should have about a 1" round flat black eyepiece with a .045" hole {varies} to look thru. The front globe site would be about 1"long tube and about 5/8" wide. Screw off collar to change inserts. I will find pics and post them. Bob

    The sybmol next to the 67 (1967) is the Ulm proof house mark. It is an antler.
