Anschutz stock bolts

[zanes]

I've got an Anschutz Match 54 (Super match version IIRC) barreled action and a suitable stock in the cabinet that I need to accept I will never really use.

As I bought the action and stock separately I need to get some stock bolts for it- I'm sure I found a supplier (and they're a slightly funny thread) but am sodded if I can find it again- any ideas?

These guys should be able to help:

Intershoot was the one, thanks!

Lol, it would be the one that looks like they're closed until the 18th Sept...!

OR

Find out the pitch of the threaded holes in the action & buy some suitable screws/bolts online...
(seems to be what InterShoot have done - for £6 per bolt!)

I'd second this. I needed to buy some action screws for a Remington 700 stock and the prices of the screws were stupid. So I just measured the threads and bought a set off Amazon/eBay and cut the overall length to size. They work perfect and have zero problems; for the price of one screw I managed to get 5 so I have back ups should I need them.

This is exactly what I intended to do originally when I bought the action/stock (hence me saying "and they're a slightly funny thread") but I seem to remember I couldn't find any from a generic bolt supplier last time I looked. However, worth another go as I too baulk at 6 quid a bolt.

Six quid (or twelve quid for a pair?) - seeing as a match rifle is all about accuracy and to get any sort of repeatability the action and stock have to be consistently torqued together, I would pay it personally. It's a minimum of a three hundred quid rifle that could be rendered wobbly and less desirable if you save a few quid on the bolts :)

Obviously a bolt is a bolt - if you can get exactly the right pitch, diameter, threaded portion vs plain and head size, then might as well, but if it's a half-arrissed job expect the rifle to shoot the same

Or use the opportunity to bed it...

The SIX QUID* BOLTS ARE exactly what I said to source per DIY - off the shelf (NON FACTORY SUPPLIED) aftermarket bolts - but in this case the seller has done the leg work for you

Anschutz supplied bolts are what price, anyone?

* the £6 are for 20mm - they go up to 70mm @ £12 per bolt

Eh, I think the bedding and torquing of the screws would be much higher on the list of priorities to be honest. With my "el cheapo" screws I still manage to obtain 0.5" groups at 100m. The only issue you might have is if the screws are made from a different alloy of steel where the shear strength could be different? Given the amount of work required to cut these bolts down I can't imagine that the force generated from recoil would be sufficient at shearing these bolts.
