The Anschutz 1761 D HB is a bolt-action .17 HMR rimfire rifle built around a 20-inch standard barrel and a blued action. It pairs a walnut classic stock with the Anschutz 5061 single-stage trigger, feeds from a 5-round magazine, and is set up for range shooting and small-game use where a light, precise trigger break matters.

The 1761 D HB carries Anschutz's reputation for tight rimfire tolerances into a .17 HMR platform, and owners consistently point to smooth bolt cycling and a trigger that breaks noticeably lighter than what comes on mass-market rimfire rifles. The blued action and walnut stock are usually described as well finished, with a few owners noting the rifle feels more like a target gun than a casual plinker.

Handling gets mixed feedback depending on the use case. Shooters using it off a bench or a rest tend to love the balance and the classic stock shape, while a couple of owners moving between stands for small-game hunting find the stock geometry better suited to deliberate, supported shooting than fast field carry.

On value, the Anschutz name carries a premium over typical .17 HMR bolt guns, and most owners who choose the 1761 D HB do so specifically for the trigger and build quality rather than price. Aftermarket support is thinner than for more common rimfire platforms, so buyers tend to keep it close to factory configuration.
