Need trigger help for Anschutz 1451/Achiever rifles

Post by JasonM »

Originally posted in Youth Shooting Programs forum, but didn't get answers so trying here...

My daughters shoot in a local 4H junior shooting club in 4-position (once they progress that far) matches. My younger daughter and a couple others in the club shoot Achievers or 1451s. They are accurate enough, but the triggers are pretty terrible compared to most of the other rifles being used. They're great for size/price for the smaller juniors, but the triggers are frustrating. My daughter, in particular, says she'd rather shoot her own CZ452 instead of the Anschutz just because of the trigger. Does anyone have a tutorial for making them significantly better or have someone that we can have do trigger work on them?

Overall, you are very on point that the triggers are sub-par to others Anschutz produced. My experience is slightly more frequent care via lube and adjustment and they work well enough.
