Overview

The rifle is chambered for 22LR (rimfire). It is a bolt action rifle using the Anschutz 64 Match Action. It is single shot only and features a heavy 65cm match barrel with a blued finish. The rifle weighs 4.5kg with an overall length of 110cm and is available in left and right hand versions.

The Model 1903 conforms with UIT rules for the former standard rifle. These no longer exist for small-bore rifles. Nevertheless, the Standard Rifle remains the national rifle in Germany and the Model 1903 remains in production to satisfy demand for an entry level small bore rifle and for a versatile club rifle. The Model 1903 can be be configured for use in prone rifle, 3 position matches or can accept a scope allowing it to be used for bench rest.
