The Anschutz 1761L D is a left-hand bolt-action .17 HMR rifle built around a 20-inch heavy barrel with a blued finish. It pairs the barrel with a walnut stock and the 5061 single-stage trigger, and it ships without factory sights for a scope-only setup. The rifle feeds from a 5-round magazine for 5+1 capacity.

Detailed Features 

• The heavy barrel profile is meant to hold zero better across a shooting session than a lighter contour. 
• No factory sights are included, so the rifle is set up to be mounted with a scope from the start. 
• The 5061 single-stage trigger is built for a lighter, more consistent pull than a typical rimfire trigger. 
• The left-hand action and walnut stock are aimed at left-handed shooters who want a dedicated bolt gun rather than an ambidextrous compromise. 
• The 5-round magazine gives 5+1 capacity with one round chambered.

Owners of the 1761L D tend to praise Anschutz build quality and the smoothness of the bolt action, which is a big part of why the brand has a following among rimfire shooters. The 5061 trigger draws particular praise for breaking cleanly compared to trigger packs on cheaper .17 HMR rifles.

Left-handed shooters especially like this rifle because dedicated left-hand bolt guns are hard to find in .17 HMR, and the walnut stock gets compliments for fit and finish rather than feeling like an afterthought. The heavy barrel adds some weight up front, which most owners see as a plus for offhand steadiness rather than a downside.

On value, buyers view the 1761L D as a premium purchase relative to mainstream .17 HMR bolt rifles, and most feel the trigger and barrel quality justify the price gap. A common piece of advice from owners is to budget for a good scope, since the rifle ships without sights and is clearly built around one.
