The Anschütz 1727 F is a straight-pull hunting rifle chambered in .17 HMR or .17 HM2 and produced since 2013 which has taken a lot of inspiration from the 1827 F biathlon rifle. While the two designs have similarities, like the locking mechanism designed by Peter Fortner, their parts are for the most part not compatible.
The Fortner rifles are currently the most used biathlon rifles in Olympic competitions. The 1727 and 1827 share the same action, and the main upgrade with the 1827 model was a different stock and barrel. The straight pull mechanism uses 6 ball bearings to lock the bolt.

Most straight-pull rifles have a striker firing mechanism (without a hammer), [citation needed] and models using a hammer usually have a comparably longer lock time than hammer-less mechanisms. The Anschütz Fortner action used in biathlon is a good example of an ergonomical straight-pull rifle with good economy of motion and high operating speed.
The 6mm BR / 6.2x39mm is a centerfire cartridge created for benchrest shooting. The cartridge is also known as the 6mm Bench Rest or simply 6 BR, and has also developed a following among varmint hunters because of its efficiency. [5] There are two basic variants of very similar dimensions, known as the 6mm BR Remington and the 6mm Norma BR.
