The Anschutz 1761 HB is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 LR, built with a 20-inch heavy blued barrel and a classic walnut stock. It holds 6+1 rounds and pairs a smooth, short-throw bolt with a two-stage trigger. The rifle combines a traditional sporting profile with a heavier barrel contour aimed at rimfire accuracy.

Owners of the 1761 HB consistently single out the two-stage trigger as one of the rifle's best features, describing the break as clean and easy to work with for deliberate, precise shots. The heavy barrel is credited with a steady, front-heavy balance that many shooters prefer for bench and target work over a lighter sporter-profile barrel.

The short-throw bolt gets regular praise for feeling smooth and fast to run, and the walnut stock is generally well liked for its classic look and comfortable fit, though a few owners coming from a synthetic-stocked rimfire mention the extra weight of the wood and heavy barrel takes some getting used to when carried in the field. Fit and finish on the metalwork is described as consistent with what buyers expect from the brand.

On value, the 1761 HB tends to be viewed as a step up in price over budget .22 LR bolt guns, and owners weighing that cost generally point to the trigger and barrel quality as the reason. It is seen more as a precision rimfire rifle for range and target use than a casual plinker, and buyers who want that level of trigger control tend to consider it worth the premium.
