What Charlie said above about it being a "Biathlon rifle" is mostly true but it's kind of a hybrid. The Anchutz .17 HMR 1727F utilizes a lot of the components used on Olympic biathlon rifles but it has the appearance of a "regular" rifle not like some of the oddball looking competition rifles. The bolt action and barrel machining are what sets it apart from other rifles before being mounted into a walnut stock. Mainly all the cost comes in from the metal used and the tedious detail to machining. Hard to pull the trigger on this investment... BUT I REALLY WANT TOO!!!!
