The Anschutz 1710 XLR HB Rifle 22 Long Rifle 23″ Barrel M‑Lok Chassis is a high‑end rimfire precision bolt‑action rifle built on the Anschutz Match 54 action, chambered in .22 LR, with a 23‑inch heavy barrel, no iron‑sight provision, and a fully adjustable XLR C6‑style aluminum chassis fitted with M‑Lok accessory rails down both sides of the forend. The rifle runs a 10‑round detachable magazine and an Anschutz 5109 two‑stage trigger, typically tuned around 4–6 oz, giving you a glass‑rod‑light, crisp, competition‑grade break suited to NRL22, 22‑target, and training‑drill use. The chassis is machined from 6061‑T6 billet aluminum, with Anschutz UIT accessory rail and Arca‑Swiss‑style dovetail on the forend, adjustable length‑of‑pull, adjustable cheek‑piece, and adjustable butt‑plate, so you can tailor the fit precisely for bench, bipod, or prone work. The 23‑inch heavy barrel and blued receiver are optimized for sub‑MOA 22‑lr groups, and the M‑Lok‑pattern attachments let you add bipods, weights, lights, or panels for custom balance and ergonomics without breaking the gun’s clean, field‑ready look.
Why the Anschutz 1710 XLR HB 22 LR works for precision and training
The 1710 XLR HB 22 LR is designed as a bench‑and‑match ready 22‑lr platform, so the 23‑inch heavy barrel, 5109 two‑stage trigger, and glass‑bedded XLR chassis combine to deliver true competition‑grade accuracy out of the box. The no‑iron‑sight layout keeps the top‑of‑receiver clean for optics mounting, and the 11‑mm rail and drilled‑and‑tapped receiver support a wide range of 22‑lr scopes and micro‑dovetail mounts. The adjustable LoP, cheek‑piece, and butt‑plate let shooters of all sizes lock in a repeatable, custom‑style setup, and the M‑Lok‑equipped forend allows you to tune the weight and contact points for NRL22, 1000‑yds 22, or low‑recoil training drills. The 10‑round magazine plus extended magazine release make reloads fast and ergonomic, so this rifle is perfect for high‑round‑count practice, rimfire‑competition blocks, and long‑day training sessions with inexpensive 22‑lr ammo.
Anschutz 1710 XLR HB trigger and handling
The 5109 two‑stage trigger on the 1710 XLR HB is one of its standout features, with a light, crisp first stage and a short, solid wall tuned roughly between 4–6 oz, which feels more like a 10‑meter match rifle than a typical plinking 22‑lr. The XLR chassis’ rigid aluminum body, textured pistol grip, and adjustable buttstock keep the rifle very stable on a bipod or bag, while the free‑floating heavy barrel ensures the point‑of‑impact stays consistent across strings of fire. The M‑Lok accessory rails, UIT rail, and Arca‑Swiss‑style forend let you mount a bipod, sling, or balance weights for custom handling, and the overall design is purely tactical, optics‑only, so it suits shooters who want a serious 22‑lr platform that can grow into a fully built competition or training gun.
Magazine, capacity, and practical role
This configuration runs a 10‑round magazine (10+1 capacity), giving you 10+1 in the gun and 10 in reserve for a total of 21 live 22‑lr rounds ready to go. The 10‑round capacity is ideal for:
-
Rimfire‑competition stages and NRL‑style matches,
-
High‑round‑count, low‑cost training,
-
22‑lr target practice and zeroing optics,
-
Youth‑level and low‑recoil marksmanship drills.
The 23‑inch heavy barrel and precision‑oriented chassis make the rifle more at home on the range or competition line than in the woods, but it is still compact enough (around 40 inches overall) to move and carry without major hassle. The 22‑lr chambering keeps recoil and noise low, and the M‑Lok‑style layout lets you adapt the gun for everything from bare‑bones bench‑rest to feature‑heavy competition‑style builds.
Why the Anschutz 1710 XLR HB 22 LR stands out
Compared with many entry‑level 22‑lr bolt actions, the Anschutz 1710 XLR HB Rifle 22 Long Rifle 23″ Barrel M‑Lok Chassis stands out because it combines Anschutz’s legendary 54‑action accuracy and 5109 trigger with a modern, fully adjustable XLR‑style M‑Lok chassis in one 22‑lr platform. The 23‑inch heavy barrel, 10‑round magazine, and competition‑ready trigger make it a true rimfire‑precision rifle, and the Arca‑Swiss dovetail, UIT rail, and M‑Lok give you a huge range of accessory and tuning options.
If you want a top‑tier 22‑lr bolt‑action rifle that is built for rimfire competition, 22‑target training, and low‑cost, high‑round‑count practice, the Anschutz 1710 XLR HB 22 LR with 23‑inch barrel and M‑Lok chassis is a strong, serious‑level choice that blends German‑precision mechanics with modern tactical‑style ergonomics in one cohesive 22‑lr platform.
