Trigger adjustments
1. Trigger weight
Adjust the trigger weight with set screw
No. 10 (silver screw):
¥if you turn it to the right:
trigger weight is increased (+)
¥if you turn it to the left:
trigger weight is decreased (-)
Trigger weight and first stage weight
depend on each other with regard to the
mechanic mechanism. If one of them ischanged there will always be a corres-
ponding change of the other as well.
To move trigger cam No. 11:
¥lowest position of the trigger cam:
lowest trigger weight
¥highest position of the trigger cam:
highest trigger weight
If the trigger weight is to be more than 200 g,
the trigger cam No. 11 must be adjusted to
the highest position (turn it by 180° and fix
it then). To do this you need a 2 mm hex
key and perhaps tweezers.
¥if you turn it to the left:
You release the screw
¥if you turn it to the right:
You tighten the screw
Attention:
Please ensure the trigger cam is positioned
correctly. Be very careful tightening the
small cam screw as it is easily broken!
Please check the sear engagement accor-
ding to paragraph No. 3 when you have
finished this process. It might have to be
adjusted as well. The precise adjustments
of the trigger weight and first stage weight
are carried out with the set screws No. 10
(trigger weight) and No.9 (first stage weight).
2. First stage weight (only for two-stage
triggers)
Adjust first stage weight with set screw
No. 9 (black screw):
¥if you turn it to the right:
first stage weight is increased (+)
Trigger
Warning:
Your ANSCH†TZ target rifle offers you a
versatility of individual adjusting properties.
Please make sure that your rifle always is
unloaded when carrying out adjustments.
The trigger adjusted by the factory
guarantees utmost safety. Please observe
the general safety use when using your rifle. 
						

							29
¥if you turn it to the left:
first stage weight is decreased (-)
Trigger weight and first stage weight
depend on each other with regard to the
mechanic mechanism. If one of them is
changed there will always be a corres-
ponding change of the other as well.
Attention:
Do not reduce either trigger weight screw
to zero or lower as the trigger pull may
become erratic.
3. Sear engagement
The sear engagement is the distance bet-
ween the second stage and the release of
the trigger.
Important note:
To protect your precise trigger and to
guarantee perfect operation you should
always close the action carefully. If the sear
engagement of single stage triggers is too
small and the trigger weight is too low or if
the first stage of two-stage triggers is too
short, the trigger might release inadvertently
by a sudden impact or too powerful closing
of the action if the rifle is loaded and not in
the ÓsafeÒ position.
Adjustment of the sear engagement for two-
stage triggers with set screw No. 5:
¥if you turn it to the right:
sear engagement is shortened
¥if you turn it to the left:
sear engagement is extended
Adjustment of an optimum sear engagement:Make sure your rifle is not loaded. Cock
your rifle and release the trigger. Check if
the trigger releases as desired.
The sear engagement is too long:
There is a small distance between the
second stage and the release of the trigger.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 clockwise after
cocking and releasing (approximately
1/8 turn each).
¥Repeat this process until you do not feel
the second stage anymore. Then turn
1/5 turn back to the left. Thus the optimum
sear engagement is adjusted.
The sear engagement is too short:
There is no second stage. The trigger
releases un-defined without second stage.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 counter-clockwise
for at least 
1/4 turn after cocking. Then
release the trigger and check if there is a
second stage. If not, repeat this proce-
dure until you feel a second stage.
¥As soon as you feel a second stage
proceed according to the points of the
paragraph ãThe sear engagement is too
longÒ to obtain an optimum sear
engagement.
For the adjustment of the sear engagement
for single stage triggers with set screw
No. 5 see point 7:
4. First stage (only for two-stage
triggers):
The single stage is the distance between
the trigger blade from zero position to the
second stage. 
						

							30
Adjustment of first stage with set screw No. 4:
¥if you turn it to the right:
first stage is shortened
¥if you turn it to the left:
first stage is extended
Attention:
Set screw No. 4 (first stage) can be turned
past the second stage function. In this case
the trigger does not work anymore.
Danger! Do not under no circumstances
remove the first stage completely in order
to change the two-stage trigger into a sin-
gle stage trigger.
5. Trigger stop:
The trigger stop is the distance from the se-
cond stage to the stop of the trigger blade.
Adjustment of the trigger stop with set screw
No. 8:
¥if you turn it to the right:
overtravel is shortened
i retuo
pa sd f
¥if you turn it to the left:
overtravel is extended
Attention:
The trigger stop set screw No. 8 can be
turned over the second stage or first stage
function. Malfunction (the trigger does not
release)!
6. Adjustment of the trigger blade
¥Loosen hex screw No. 7
¥Trigger blade No. 6 can be moved in the
longitudinal guide and can be tilted
laterally.
7. Change of two-stage trigger into
single stage trigger
Adjusting process:
¥Turn first stage weight screw No. 4 clock-
wise until you have reached the maximum
first stage.
¥Cock the rifle.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 (first stage) counter-
clockwise until the trigger releases.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 from this position
approx. 
1/4 turn clockwise.
The trigger is now adjusted to single stage
operation, there is no more first stage.
Warning:
Single stage triggers are very sensitive and
must be operated with special care.
The sear engagement of 
5/10 0 mm is ob-
tained after the action is closed. In com-
bination with a minimum trigger weight 
						

							31
there might be a malfunction and an
increased risk (inadvertent shot
release).
8. Change of single stage trigger into
two-stage trigger
¥Turn trigger stop set screw No. 8 approx.
2 
1/2 turns to the left (adjust max. trigger
stop longer).
¥Release the safety of the trigger and cock
the rifle.
¥Turn set screw No. 5 approx. 2 
1/2  turns
counter-clockwise.
¥You should now feel a second stage
¥To adjust the optimum sear engagement
proceed according to paragraph 3.
¥Perhaps you have to adjust the first stage
according to paragraph 4, the trigger
stop according to paragraph 5, the
trigger weight according to paragraph 1
and the first stage weight according to
paragraph 2 to the desired values.
9. Malfunctions of the trigger due to
wrong adjustment procedure
If the trigger is not adjusted correctly mal-
functions may occur. Tampering with the
trigger adjustments will not result in any
success. Therefore proceed as follows:
After every change the function of the
trigger must be checked. When the
malfunction is removed check the desired
trigger values and adjust them again if
necessary.
The trigger catches the  firing pin, but the
trigger does not release:
¥Make sure that the safety of the trigger is
released.
¥Check if there is a trigger cam and that itis attached correctly.
¥The trigger stop set screw No. 8 is
screwed in too much. Turn it a few turns
to the left until the cocking piston or firing
pin will release again.
The trigger does not catch the cocking
piston or firing pin:
¥Set screw No. 4 (first stage) is screwed
in too much.
¥Check to see if the spring is correctly
attached and not defective.
The first stage trigger is adjusted too
tightly:
¥Turn set screw No. 5 stepwise 
1/4  turn to
the right until the firing pin is caught.
Catch rebound spring is too weak or
defective:
¥Send your trigger to the factory or your
service center for inspection.
10. Safety
On the left side of the trigger there is a
safety lever. Please see chapter ãCocking,
loading and safety operationÒ.
11. Maintenance
Please see chapter ãCleaning, mainte-
nance, care, lubricationÒ.
Important note:
To protect your highly accurate trigger and
to maintain perfect functioning always close
the bolt carefully.

Dry firing device
The length of the firing pin is adjusted so
that it definitely ignites the cartridges. If there
is no cartridge or cartridge case in the
chamber, the firing pin as well as the rim of
the chamber may be damaged when
dryfiring for a longer period. In order to
prevent any possible damage use either a
cartridge case (after about 5 practice shots
insert a different case) or preferably a tone
down disc 1927F-40. With this device you
can practice under competition conditions
without having to use ammunition.
Please attach as follows:
¥Screw off breech1827F-24.
¥Remove the Fortner action.
¥Screw off screwed conduit sleeve
1827F-8.
¥Pull off chamber 1827F-5 from the rear
bolt part.
¥Attach tone down disc to firing pin.
¥Screw together chamber1827F-5 and
rear bolt part with the help of screwed
conduit sleeve1827F-8.
¥Cock Fortner bolt and insert it again.
Do not forget to remove the tone down disc
for live firing. Attention:
If you change the trigger remove the bolt
from the receiver when fitting the trigger as
otherwise the trigger will be damaged.

Cleaning and care
Your ANSCH†TZ rear sight is a highly
accurate device of utmost quality and
therefore needs special handling. Good
care and maintenance guarantee perfect
functionning. Protect your rear sight from
dust and dirt.  Guides and spindles must
not be oiled or greased.Attention:
Your ANSCH†TZ rear sight has been
adjusted carefully and without play with the
help of special tools. It has been checked
several times and therefore does not require
any additional adjustments. Therefore only
operate the screws for vertical and horizon-
tal adjustments as described above. Do not
turn the screws beyond their stop as this
would cause  a permanent damage to the
screw and thread. In order not to endanger
your right of warranty, please contact your
dealer or our repair service in case any
malfunctions might occur.
Cleaning, Maintenance, Care,
Lubrication
Even after considerable use, your
ANSCH†TZ small bore match rifle will not
require much attention - a tribute to its solid
design, first class materials, well proven
ANSCH†TZ workmanship and precision.
If you follow the recommendations below,
you will help maintain the excellent
performance of your rifle for a long time.
If the rifle comes from the cold into warmth
after test firing or after competition,
condensed water is deposited especially on
metal parts and in the interior of the barrel.
If this condensed water is not removed
quickly, rust might occur. Rust makes the
interiour of the barrel rough and the
shooting performance will decrease.
Before initial shooting:
¥Carefully deoil the rifle. Deoiling should
be carried out at room temperature as too 
						

							34
many residues would remain in the barrel
at low temperatures.
After initial shooting:
¥Dry clean (remove powder residues).
¥Leave the rifle locked and the snow cap
closed, do not take into a warm room.
After competition:
¥Warm up rifle with opened bolt and snow
cover to room temperature.
¥Carefully remove condensed water on the
external parts.
¥Disassemble bolt and also remove con-
densed water from the individual parts.
Oil with a suitable gun oil.
¥Carefully clean the interior of the barrel
with a cleaning rod to remove condensed
water and residues of firing. Then oil the
interior of the barrel with a resin and acid
free oil.
Maintenance of the trigger:
¥Lubricate the bearings slightly with cold
resistant molybdenum disulphide grease
once a year.
¥Spot a small amount of oil into the bearing
parts using a needle.
¥The internal parts should not be washed
with spray or oil to avoid resin or other
residues in the trigger.
Attention:
When cleaning the rifle no dirt, residues of
solvents, grease or non-suitable oils must get
into the trigger mechanism. We therefore
recommend either to use our cleaning rod
guide or to clean your gun in a way that itis horizontal or even with the stock up to
avoid any contamination of the trigger
mechanism.
Protect your rifle against dust, sand,
humidity, heat and other harmful influences.
Vacuum clean your gun case or soft gun
case once a month to remove dust and lint.
Gun cases and soft gun cases should have
a smooth and dust rejecting inner lining.
Leave your gun case or soft gun case open
when you store them at home so that
possible humidity can escape.
Adding a humidity absorber reduces the
development of humidity. A slight oil film
on the steel parts additionally protects your
rifle against corrosion. Be aware of other
possible changes or damage. In such a
case take your  rifle to an authorized
gunsmith for checking or send it to our
factory.
To reduce the risk of damage in transit, we
recommend the disassembly of the barreled
action from the stock, especially on flights.
