I actually had no idea about biathlon, super cool stuff! Those air rifles look a lot like the ones I shoot for my school's marksmanship club. They have the same sight setup, but they don't have that hand-rest type block on the trigger guard.
Yeah, the Anschutz platform is very common in competition events, and the diopter sights are pretty standard for the shorter distances and tiny targets. The Anschutz company manufactures a huge percentage of the rifles you'll see at the Olympics in all the disciplines.
