Built on the Match 54 action, this rifle is configured as a single-shot bolt-action .22 LR for disciplined target work. It carries the right-side flag safety and a match-style trigger, aligning with its focused match role.
The 25.9-inch heavy round steel barrel is purpose-chosen for target stability. It includes a front sight base with a transverse dovetail; no front element is installed, and there is no rear sight, providing a clean setup for optics or match sights of the buyer's choice.
The receiver is steel and blued, with integral dovetail grooves. Clamp-on dovetail scope bases are already installed, making it straightforward to mount glass. The overall blued finish on both barrel and receiver presents a classic, durable look.
The walnut stock is designed for precision shooting: a right-hand cheekpiece, beavertail forend, wrap-around diamond checkering, and an inletted UIT/Anschütz-pattern accessory rail for handstops or other match accessories. A ribbed metal buttplate and checkered pistol grip round out the target-focused ergonomics. Length of pull measures 13.75 inches.
Proofed in Ulm and marked with West German eagle/N nitro proof and Ulm antler stamps, this 1962 example represents early West German production in the 1960s era, noted as a pre-14xx marked Match 54 variant. Capacity is single round, aligning with traditional match protocols.
