you got it for a good price in my opinion. I had one. Past tense.. I don't really keep military rifles. It is about like a 260 Remington in power and they are used in the north countries over there for everything even moose.

Hey wrenchman, you've been hearing good things about the 6,5 for a reason.

Can't remember if you reload or not . . . I've been using the 130gr Accubonds. In this R93, H4350 and Varget both turn in solid performance.


They do use it for Moose up in Scandanavia, but personally I think it's on the light side. The moose up there are not as large as in NA, and they shoot a lot of cows and calves as well.

I think you'll like your new 6,5, great caliber, and will do the job on bucks and boars. As they say, the proof is in the pudding

I do reload I will have to get some dies I reload for my 270 and my 30-40 kraig I have read the hand loaders can really make the round perform well.

By the way Dom I love seeing them pics from across the pond keep them comeing.
I have been thinking of Britain I love watching there field sports stuff so much so that I have looked into see if any of the hi fence places around me have munjeck or roe but so far have not found any.
The wife would like to do a castle ture maybe that's my in to hunt some while there.

The Swede was the first center fire I ever bought. Sears had a barrel full of them for under $20. Thing shot extremely well!Later gave it to a cousin.
