One note, the 2002 doesn't have a dedicated dry firing mechanism. The reservoir can then be removed easily and safely. The air reservoir is removed by unscrewing the reservoir one turn an then firing the rifle 2-3 times to drain any excess air in the system. This will require an A-Frame to DIN adapter to interface to most air tanks used in the US. The 2002 is equipped with a removable air reservoir but the 2002 is shipped with a DIN type adapter instead of the more common A-Frame adapter. With the lower power, it thrusts upwards of 200 pellets down range before requiring the reservoir to be refilled. I am sure that if I had a vise that I could lock the rifle into that it would put them through the same hole without much difficulty.Īs with most 10 meter rifles, the 2002 spits out match grade pellets around the 6 ft. It did this with Crosman Premier Match, Dynamit Nobel R10, and JSB S100 Match Diabolo pellets. The 2002 basically shot single hole groups that were just a touch larger than the pellets themselves. Having owned and shot many different Anschütz rifles over the years I had high expectations of the 2002 and I wasn't disappointed. I found out that Anschütz was producing a metal stock for the 2002 air rifles so when the opportunity to test a 2002 was presented to me I figured I would get it with a metal stock and check it out at the same time. I have wanted a Olympic grade 10 meter rifle for some time to practice my standing shooting so I decided to take a look at the Anschütz 2002CA. 22 rimfire that I bought several years ago. I have had the pleasure of owning and shooting many Anschütz rifles over my lifetime and have been very impressed with all of them, even the vintage 1963 model 63. Anschütz is a name well recognized in shooting circles around the world, their rifles are well known for their superb accuracy and craftsmanship.
