Viking Arms, the North Yorkshire-based distributor of firearms, ammunition, and accessories, has been appointed as the exclusive UK distributor for the German firearms manufacturer Anschütz.
Known for its legacy of precision and innovation, Anschütz has been a global leader in the hunting and sporting firearms market since 1856. Its products, favoured by Olympic champions, professional hunters, and world-class biathletes, are synonymous with craftsmanship and reliability.
The partnership ensures UK retailers will now have direct access to Anschütz’s premium range of firearms, backed by Viking Arms’ extensive distribution network and technical expertise.
Founded in 1965, Viking Arms has long been a cornerstone of the UK shooting trade. Operating from its purpose-built headquarters in North Yorkshire, the company provides secure, Home Office-approved storage facilities and tailored logistical solutions. Its commitment to customer service and after-sales support aligns with Anschütz’s own customer-first philosophy.
“We are honoured to represent Anschütz in the UK market,” said Sam MacArthur, managing director of Viking Arms. “Their reputation for precision and quality is second to none, and we are excited to bring their products to our customers with the level of service and support they deserve. This partnership is a testament to our shared commitment to excellence and innovation.”
Jochen Anschütz, president of Anschütz, added, “The Anschütz family and staff are very much looking forward to working with Viking in the UK market. Both companies taking this next important step together will see the beginning of a successful long-term relationship. Both family businesses have the same ideas, opinions, and goals. Anschütz is very proud to have Viking as a new partner—a perfect match.”
The collaboration aims to strengthen Anschütz’s presence in the UK and set new standards for quality and precision in the hunting and sporting firearms sector.
