Even if this could be surprising for those who know my love for the pre WW2 Oberndorf made Original Mauser 98' system, here is one of my favorite rifles.
I have always considered the Schultz & Larsen action, and more specifically the 65 and 68DL models, to be one of the best bolt-action mechanisms ever made.
In the sixties, H.P White Laboratory tested one of these rifles and brought it up to 129,000 psi, without encountering any problem other than some difficulty with the bolt lift.
Danish build quality and excellent trigger design made me choose an M65DL action for my own 6.5x55SE rifle.
Of course it was necessary to make some modifications, difficult alterations on a receiver and bolt treated at more than 50° Rockwell hardness.
After full blueprinting, the action was fitted on AU4G bedding pillars.
The 25" barrel is an alloy steel Lothar-Walther profiled in our usual shape while the French walnut classic stock takes up our standards.
Indeed the metal parts have been slow rust blued with the exception of the bolt body and trigger left in the white.
An old Swarovski Z3 4-12x50 BRX scope on modified Talley mounts completes the set.
A small Talley diopter, sliding on the rear base, overcomes a possible optical problem.

Regards to all.
