Description
The ANSCHUTZ 1416 AV T6M .22LR 18″ THREADED BLUED MANNER T6 STOCK is a premium, modular rimfire rifle built for precision. It combines Anschutz’s legendary barrel and trigger with a modern, adjustable T6 stock system, offering target-grade accuracy in a versatile platform ready for a suppressor. At $1696.60, it sits in a unique space between high-end sporters and dedicated match guns.
Here’s the thing—you’re paying for the Anschutz name, and for good reason. That name means a cold-hammer-forged barrel, a buttery-smooth bolt, and a trigger that’s simply in a different league than most factory .22s. The 18-inch threaded barrel keeps things handy and quiet-ready, while the blued finish is classic and durable. The real value pivot is the Manner’s T6 stock. It’s not just a chunk of wood; it’s a modern, ergonomic chassis with adjustable length of pull and comb height. This means it can fit out of the box for a wider range of shooters without needing custom work.

Weighing in around 7.5 pounds, it has a solid, stable feel without being a bench-only anchor. The 5-round magazine is standard for precision rimfire, keeping the profile sleek. So who is this rifle really for? It’s not the first .22 you buy for plinking tin cans—though it would certainly excel at that. It’s for the shooter who understands that consistency comes from quality components and a proper fit. It’s ideal for the disciplined rimfire competitor in NRL22 or PRS Rimfire matches who wants an out-of-the-box solution that’s highly tunable. It’s also perfect for the serious small-game hunter or varminter who demands first-shot accuracy and values a quiet, suppressed report.
Pros & Cons: The Practical Tradeoffs
Pros: The accuracy potential is immense, straight from the factory. The adjustable stock is a huge value-add, eliminating immediate aftermarket costs for fit. The threaded barrel is a modern necessity. The Anschutz action and trigger are arguably the best in the production rimfire world. It’s a rifle you’ll never outgrow.
Cons: The price tag is steep compared to entry-level precision .22s like the Ruger Precision Rimfire or Tikka T1X. You’re investing in a system. Magazines and accessories are proprietary to the Anschutz 64 action pattern, so spares cost more than, say, a 10/22 mag. It’s a tool for a specific purpose, not a casual beater.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this compatible with other Anschutz accessories?
A: Yes. The 1416 uses the Anschutz 64 action footprint. This means it accepts aftermarket triggers, rails, and magazines designed for the Model 64 series, which are widely available from brands like Anschutz, DIP, and others. The stock’s Picatinny rail accepts standard optics mounts.
Q: Can the stock be swapped for something else later?
A: Absolutely. The barreled action uses a standard Anschutz 64-style recoil lug and action screw spacing. This means it can be dropped into any aftermarket stock or chassis inlet for an Anschutz 64, such as those from KRG, MDT, or McMillan, offering long-term upgrade paths.
Q: What’s the real-world accuracy expectation?
A: With quality match-grade ammunition like Eley Tenex or Lapua Center-X, sub-MOA groups at 50 yards are a reasonable expectation, and many will see 1/2 MOA or better. That’s the level of performance you’re paying for—it’s about eliminating the rifle as the variable. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, with an FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
Look, if you’re chasing the absolute best bang-for-your-buck in a .22 plinker, this isn’t it. But if your definition of value is measured in consistent, tiny groups and a platform that won’t hold you back, the Anschutz 1416 AV T6M makes a compelling case. It brings together proven heritage and modern modularity in one ready-to-shoot package. Consider your long-term goals in the sport. If they involve precision, this rifle is a foundation you can build on for years.
