Re: THE 6.5 COMES ALIVE---by Craig Boddington

So many real 6.5mm's missed from the article. But probably not chambered in the current newly fashionable rifles being released this year, so no benefit in mentioning them if trying to tout new rifle sales in an article.

Such excellent examples as the .256 Mannlicher.Schoenauer/6.5x54mm M-S, 6.5x53R, 6.5x57 and R version, 6.5x68 and R, 6.5x65, and probably an R version as well. No doubt others. All European so missed off the Boddington radar.

I have a 6.5x53R Steyr in a military rifle for a future (who knows when?) custom project. A 6.5x55 M96, superbly accurate, mil rifle with a synthetic stock. A loaner for visitors. A 6.5x54 M-S in a cut back mil stutzen type stock. It will do until I get a nice civilian model. And a barrel in 6.5x65 RWS for my Mauser M03.

As I have mentioned many times, I really wanted the 6.5x68 in the M03 barrel but not available. Now even the 6.5mm is off the Mauser books.
