had the max pro,found it poorly made,bad connections and put a red filter on and youd be very lucky to get 100 metres,sent it back and got cluson blazerlite,better built,solid,good connections and 200 plus metes with red filter no problem.Could be i just got a dodgy max pro alot of people have good things to say about them as dekers has said but once bitten ,twice shy so i"ll stay with cluson

Hi there, So the 1517 isn't 2 stage like the 1417?? I assumed it was the same rifle but in 17hmr?
I tried one with the thumbhole and as you say, much more like an air rifle stock and lovely to handle. Did you find another stock second hand or get one new from somewhere? Only ask as I have one locally for sale but no thumbhole stock.
Cheers
Bruce
hi, no the 1517 is a single stage trigger,but you can get it converted to a two stage,i bought the thumbhole stock new £240 both of which you can get done from frank dyke,the trigger conversion is about £50 i think

i did have cz in hmr form but as soon as i got an anschutz 1417 .22 with two stage trigger,i put the cz up for sale and bought an anschutz 1517 and had the trigger converted to a two stage,both now have thumbhole stocks and both 14" barrels and i wouldnt change them for anything.The difference between the cz and anschutz in accuracy is very little possibly anschutz a bit better but build quality,smoothness and overall quality of the annie beats the cz hands down.Between the two the .22 is very good as you say out to about 100yds max,but is alot quieter than the .17 and very good for lamping.The .17 good to 150yds but louder than the .22,meat damage is none existant with head shots and both calibres are more than capable of this if you do your bit.I would recomend you try the thumbhole stock if you decide on the annie as it has a raised cheekpiece much like an air rifle stock as normal rifle stocks do not have it so your chin will be alot higher on the stock.If i were you i would get both calibres funds permitting and bear in mind if you get a cz and trigger kit it will not make it a two stage trigger,just a trigger with no creep

as gimlet said its about what feels right for you,gives you confidence when you pick it up and shoot it,my first gun was a CZ 452 .17HMR WITH 16" BARREL,great gun,i then bought a ANSCHUTZ 1417 .22 WITH 14" BARREL AND 2 STAGE TRIGGER.The differance between the two guns apart from the calibres for me was unbelievable,as i said the cz ,great gun but the build quality,smoothness and feel of the anschutz compared to the cz was unbeieivable.I sold the cz and bought an ANSCHUTZ 1517 WITH 14"BARREL AND TWO STAGE TRIGGER,both now have thumbhole stocks and i am really happy with both set ups.Whilst the annies are alot more expensive than czs at the end of the day its whats right for you,before you buy try holding the guns,see what feels right when you shoulder the gun if possible try shooting the guns.This shooting game can be quite expensive try and get it right first time and you will save yourself a good few bob or get it wrong from the start and loose yourself a good few bob as i can testify

had a cz,great gun for the money but also had an anschutz 1417 at the same time,chalk and cheese so the cz went and anschutz 1517 in its place.The cz is a great gun but for build quality,looks and finish you cant beat the anschutz

i have annie 1417 and 1517 both with 14" barrels and wouldnt change them for anything,both these guns are alot more accurate than i am,the .22 is zeroed at 55yds and will still kill rabbits out to 80-85yds no holdover,cracking guns BUY IT

NOT SURE IF ITS ANY QUIETER,BUT YOU POSSIBLY GET TIGHTER GROUPS WITH A CALIBER SPECIFIC

DM80 CANT BEAT IT
-
Don't know what rifle you're planning on. I've got an HW60 and looked at a DM80. It was a bit of a head ache because the rifle only has a 14" barrel and there's barely enough room to get a reflex mod to fit in front of the fore-end. To make things worse its a heavy barrel and tapered.
I gave up and stuck with the SAK. Having handled HWs with other mods one thing I really like about the SAK is its lightness. The rifle is beautifully balanced, particularly prone without a bipod, and a heavy mod ruins it and gives it the wobbles.
Another possibility. Just been reading about the Hardy Gen 111 from Riflecraft in Shooting Sports. Ally, £90 for a muzzle can and reckoned to have the edge on the SAK for noise suppression. Other than what I've read I know nothing about these. Anyone else got any more info?
get in touch with dave mercer (DM80 ON HERE) and he wil make a mod for your gun i have a anschutz 1417 and 1517 with 14" barrels both with dm80s on them and wouldnt have anything else plus daves a great bloke and will help you as much as he can
