The Sharpshooter is equipped with a 20’’ government profile barrel and the Marksman is fitted with an 18’’ government profile barrel, both capped off by the iconic A2 Flash Hider.
The two rifles operate on a direct impingement, carbine-length gas system with an Anderson Low-Profile Steel Gas Block at the helm. The Anderson barrel and gas system are sheathed by Anderson’s 15’’ MLOK Handguard allowing the shooter full customization of the front-end of these rifles.
Both rifles have a Schmid Tool Two-Stage Trigger with a crisp, four-and-a-half-pound pull and quick reset.
The .350 Legends are outfitted with Magpul furniture, including the MOE-K2 Pistol Grip and the fully adjustable PRS Lite Buttstock. The Magpul PRS Lite stock allows for shooter versatility with ambidextrous and quick-detach sling mounts in front and rear of stock, comb height and length of pull are fully adjustable, and the shooter can adjust the low-profile rubber butt-pad for height and cant. It’s lightweight, weighing in at 18.2 ounces.
The .350 Legend round was introduced in 2019 by Winchester at SHOT (Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade) Show. This round, according to Winchester, is “the fastest straight walled hunting cartridge in the world. Built with hunters and sport shooters in mind, .350 Legend is versatile on the range and in the deer woods.”
This is the fastest SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute) approved, straight-walled, centerfire cartridge for use in states that have regulated deer hunting such as Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, and Indiana.
With hunting season on the horizon, Anderson Manufacturing’s Product Engineer, Truman Brough, played a large role in developing these new rifles with the hunter in mind.
“New for hunting season 2022, the Marksman and Sharpshooter are now offered in .350 Legend. The Marksman and Sharpshooter in .350 Legend are perfect for medium-game hunting. Whether you’re a first-time hunter or a seasoned veteran, both rifles offer the ergonomics and control to make that important shot easier,” Brough said.
