Anschutz interest

Friend of mine’s wife was is selling off her late husband’s collection. Her kids took a few things but what’s left are some Anschutz benchrest type rifles in .22 and one in .17HMR2, an Anschutz 141, a Winchester model 52 & 69A. And two of them come with these big wooden boxes to carry the rifles in. I have no idea what Anschutz rifles even go for. On the auction side I’m seeing 400-800 for the 141 and in the thousands range for the others. I helped sell a beautiful 1980’s S&W 686 and a 1948 era Winchester 94 but I’m not sure with these rimfires if there’s that much interest anymore. If there’s some interest I’ll see if he will let me put them up on the auction side. The rifles with boxes would probably be kind expensive to ship though. He’s giving me an old Stevens model 15 .22 but it’s missing the bolt cocking piece and spring, firing pin. Here’s a picture of the 141

Anschutz rifles have always been known for their quality, and accuracy. If the boxes are factory, they might bring some good money to collectors. Please post them if they get listed, and GLWS.
Thank you! Here’s what one of the boxes looks like. I don’t believe these are factory boxes but you never know.
Looks like a small bore competitors range boxes. Were there any sights in the boxes? They can be worth quite a bit as well. What models are the Anshutz target rifles? By the way, they are 3 position target rifles and not benchrest guns. Depending on the model and which action/triggers they have can mean a lot of difference in the price. Bob
Thank you! There were other accessories but I didn’t go through them. I’ll have to get more details on them for model numbers.
.17HMR2
Even upsidedown that's a good looking rifle.
Her husband had great tastes in rifles. They all should bring great money.
Those boxes are a major pain to ship.
If the externally adjusted scopes are still in the box, depending on the make/model, they can bring some high dollars also.
That’s what I told them. I suggested the go out to our local range and put an ad on the bulletin board or on a WA State firearms marketplace(I know we have one but not promoting the name of it here so not to get the thread axed). The one in .17 HMR2 is probably going to be the hardest to sell as I never see ammo for that around.
There has been a bunch of 17 mach2 ammo on the auction side even during this current shortage. I keep finding it while looking for 17hmr. Usually cheaper than the hmr too. The only drawback is that unlike 22lr there is not a big variety of brands to try for finding the most accurate. Bob
I would sell the guns on GB just not the cases.
I think you will be surprised what that will bring. And no, those crates need another home. I have one in the Mach 2 and we have a following for those rifles. imo
Shot in League at the Point way back and the 1413's that were feed Eleys were hard to beat. At least not by my 52D. 54's and 64's nothing but quality.------------------Ray
