My opinion......
For what it's worth - my vote is to keep that rifle in it's current configuration and enjoy it as is. The model 64 action is very very good. However, that looks like such a nice rifle, that it would be a shame to modify it.
Buy something else to shoot in both classes. That's my $0.02 opinion (that's about what it's worth)
If money is a concern - there are a number of sub-$500 setups that can work well for silhouette. The CZ's are fine rifles. Another Anschutz ( a 14xx series sporter) would be fine. A Remington, TOZ, or Savage with accutrigger would also be good choices.

It is defiantly a 64 action. Anschutz did some funny renumbering when they brought out the 2000 series actions.
To get bedding material off blued steel, I use "stainless" steel wool, plenty of oil and light rubbing. Usually cuts the bedding material down without harming the bluing.

Re: pics
Sorry I started a maelstrom, it was just my brain taking a moment off. I meant 64 (as I directed him to the 64MS stock), I'm just not always lined up on my thoughts and my typing!sobrbiker883 wrote:
Don't let the stock stop ya, a nice shooting 54 is a great place to start.
It would be definately a nice rifle to keep as is! I would recommend shooting it to see how well it does (esp at 100m) as a lot of 64 Matches out there started life as club guns and saw lots of action.......
Usually shooting scores right in class, too bad its the class below my classification!

64 Update
I brought out my scales last night and weighed the complete rifle. First time on the scale it showed over 13 pounds. As much as I wanted to believe my scales I found something that I knew weighs five pounds and it weighed 5lb 9oz on my scale. At that point I knew something was up. I borrowed a professional kitchen scale, put my five pound constant on it and it weighs 5lbs on this scale.
Put the rifle on the scale it and shows 10lb, 3 5/8oz. Weighed it a few more times just to make sure.
It really hurts being that close.
I'm going to the range in the next few days and I'll put it through some 100yd/m testing and see how it does before I commit to a new stock.
