Looking for a Walther LG 300XT Anatomic or similar

[ChrisReed]

Hello All

New here, but been bell target shooting for 7 yrs in my local Stratford Upon Avon league. Started off with using a friends FWB 700, but after a few seasons wanted something of my own. So I bought a Hammeli AR20, which i've added parts to over the years to make into a nice rifle for me, but i'm now looking for something abit more.

I like wooded stocks, and still want the adjustability you get with Alu stock. So my search has led me to a Walther Anatomic.

My search is for a second hand version, and i thought that the LG300XT would be the cheapest way into an Anatomic...but they seem to be rare ? or do i need to look harder

Any help or advisement you can offer would be appreciated.

I have been using one of these for the last six months and I love it. It came with a second cylinder and adjustable rear iris and front sight element. I paid £1400 for it so they are not cheap but well worth the extra over what you would pay for the standard 300xt which seem to sell at around £1000 or so.

Thanks for link, I’ve seen seversl Alu stock LG300 and LG400 for sale, but it’s the Anatomic I’m really looking for.

I paid £1750 for my LG300XT some time back, but it has been worth every penny and I have always enjoyed owning it and shooting it.

Although expensive it was still only just over half the price of a new one, and being in mint condition I was more than happy to pay that for it.

The Anatomic retains all of the adjustments of the alloy LG300XT variants, but has the warm feel of wood and I really like the look of the laminated blue stock. It is probably the best looking of all the LG300XT variants - although I have now finally (after several years of looking) found an LG300XT Carbontec to rival its good looks - but even this does not have the wood feel that is so appealing!

Thanks for the info, the anatomic certainly is my favourite and like you say wooden feel with lots of adjustment still.
