Krico 360S straight-pull (sometimes referred to as S1 or SI) [24] was mechanically equivalent to the Anschütz 1827. The Anschütz 1727 F is a straight-pull hunting rifle chambered in .17 HMR or .17 HM2 and produced since 2013 which has taken a lot of inspiration from the 1827 F biathlon rifle. While the two designs have similarities, like the ...
Following the success of the .17 HMR, the .17 Hornady Mach 2 was introduced in early 2004. The .17 HM2 is based on the .22 LR (slightly shorter in case length) case necked down to .17 caliber using the same bullet as the HMR but at a velocity of approximately 2,100 feet per second (640 m/s) in the 17-grain (1.1 g) polymer tip loading.
Most straight-pull rifles have a striker firing mechanism (without a hammer), [citation needed] and models using a hammer usually have a comparably longer lock time than hammer-less mechanisms. The Anschütz Fortner action used in biathlon is a good example of an ergonomical straight-pull rifle with good economy of motion and high operating ...
The straight pull mechanism uses 6 ball bearings to lock the bolt. The action has an external safety. The main competitor to the Anschütz 1827F today is the 7-3 and 7-4 Series toggle rifles made by the Russian company Izhmash , [ 23 ] and both mechanisms require only around a 2.5 kilogram-force to cycle, and can be cycled in under 1 second.
A rifle is a firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder, with a barrel that has a helical groove or pattern of grooves ("rifling") cut into the barrel walls.The raised areas of the rifling are called "lands," which make contact with the projectile (for small arms usage, called a bullet), imparting spin around an axis corresponding to the orientation of the weapon.
The Armscor M1700 is a compact, bolt-action hunting rifle chambered for the .17 HMR cartridge. Originally designed for hunting, like its predecessor the Armscor M1600, it is also used for pest-control. Its light weight (6 lb) and short length (40.5 in) make it a comfortable weapon to shoot up to and beyond 300 feet. [1]
The most common rimfire cartridges are chambered for .17 caliber and .22 caliber. The bullet diameter for .17 caliber firearms generally measure .172 inch (4.37 mm), while the bullet diameter for .22 caliber firearms generally measure .222 inch (5.64 mm).
The .17 Hornady Mach 2, commonly known as the .17 HM2, is a rimfire cartridge introduced in 2004 by the ammunition manufacturer Hornady, following the successful launch in 2002 of the .17 HMR. The .17 HM2 is based on the .22 Long Rifle "Stinger" case, necked down to .17 caliber (4.5 mm) and using a bullet weighing less than half the weight of a ...
