The Ansch\u00fctz 141 has upheld a steadfast reputation and a commitment to incredible precision.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Some things are timeless classics. One such example is the Parker 61 fountain pen with which I am drafting this article. There are timeless classics in shooting sports as a result of their excellence of design and construction. For many shooters, that includes the Winchester Model 12 pump shotgun, the Colt 1911 .45 Auto and the Ruger 10\/22 rimfire autoloader.<\/p>\n

All of these are fine firearms, but, to many, the classic firearm is an elegant bolt action made of metal and wood. Possible examples on some people\u2019s lists would be the Winchester Model 70, Remington 700 or Ruger 77.<\/p>\n

Rimfire enthusiasts also have classic examples. I remember well the beautiful Winchester Model 75 that a cousin had when we were young. At that time, the Winchester 52 was the elegant rimfire sporter for the connoisseur rimfire shooter. There are some current candidates for classic status, among which are the Ruger 77\/22, some of the CZ models and a few others.<\/p>\n

Classics Of A Different Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Ansch\u00fctz <\/a>name may not be familiar to some shooters, but the company was founded in 1856 by Julius Gottfried Ansch\u00fctz in Zella-Mehlis, Thurnigia, Germany. After Julius died in 1901, sons Fritz and Otto continued to direct the company. Otto died in 1923, and Fritz and his sons perpetuated the Ansch\u00fctz name on firearms. After World War II, the company moved to Ulm, and, in 1968, Dieter Ansch\u00fctz became the fourth generation of the family to head the company until his retirement in 2008.<\/p>\n
