Bought an Anschutz 2013 rifle and a railed 1-piece rest
« on: June 04, 2020, 03:19:54 PM »
From the Anschutz Custom Shop:

Bought a modified Anschutz 2013 action rifle in a Shehane laminated stock, no barrel included.
Got a Lilja 29" SS barrel from ACS before they shipped it to HNL.


This rifle and rest was used to test 22LR barrels by the Anschutz Custom Shop, but I will
use this setup to test different ammo in a particular barrel.

The 1-piece shooting rest is from Accu-Shot in Louisiana.
Has 3 different bubble levels and is really heavy.

Have to think of how to carry it up the Kokohead incline to the shooting benches........ :crazy:

Barrels can be changed without removing the action from the stock.
5018 trigger configured to single stage, 2oz.
I've been looking for a 2013 to complete my Anschutz BR rifle set.

Rifle and rest are not new, but the Custom Shop has assured me that the rifle will be "refreshed" and up to specs.

Shipping costs going to be skyhigh.

Talking to Steve Boelter of Anshutz NA Custom Shop, I finally figured out why he was selling the rifle and the 1-piece shooting rest as a pair.


The stock's forend has 2 rails running parallel to each other, and these 2 rails fit into delrin grooves in the front rest top

The two forend rails are slid onto the delrin grooves on the front rest top, almost the same way the rifle stock fits into the rear delrin spool rest.

This setup was used to test barrels at the Custom Shop, so the rifle should be capable of shooting really sub-MOA groups with the right ammo.

How do the barrels lock in place?

jc2721,

It's clamped by 3 screws and one set screw.

Once you have the barrel and tenon measurements, a gunsmith can machine a barrel blank to fit the rifle.
The gunsmith can mail the barrel to you, and it would fit.....

Chose a Lilja barrel that Steve B. of Anschutz said shot very accurately.
Comes with a Fudd tuner.

He will give me barrel and tenon specs so that I can get a Benchmark 3G SS, straight, non-taper barrel made from Benchmark factory in Washington State.

Lee (Hi-Nv Shooter) said this Benchmark shoots really well for him.

Finally got all the parts cleaned, polished, assembled last night.

Anschutz 2013 silver-nitride action, sits on thick aluminum bedding block & epoxy-bedded, so action is high in stock; also
facilitates changing of barrels without removing action from stock.  Action is free-floated (rear receiver & trigger area)
and the only contact points are the 4 action screws.

Shehane laminated stock has numerous coats of MBenz clear coat - very hard and glossy.

29" Lilja barrel - cone breech with Harrell tuner.

5018 trigger.

Rifle and stock by Accu-Shot, Louisiana.

NF 15-55x scope in Anschutz's Kelbly rings, Accuracy 1st bubble level.

New Lilja barrel
« Reply #8 on: July 24, 2020, 02:44:38 PM »
The rifle came with a Lilja SS 29", .960" diameter barrel, which shot well.

I bought a drop-in barrel from Lilja:  SS 27", .900" diameter barrel and shot it for the first time this past weekend, 10/3/2020.

A little too windy last weekend, so try again this weekend.
