I guess it’s what ever floats someone’s boat. But I wonder how much research old mate did when he can’t even get the calibre right! Really a 6.5x54R becomes a 6.5x54 Remington in his little world




Whatever floats, indeed. For all we know the project may have started with a fully buggered, shot out and abused 1903 'Greek' and these modifications may have been considered to be improvements in a style befitting the time it was done? After all, I remember thinking I looked cooler than all get out in Levi's 'Big Bells' and Kennington shirts back in the day.

I suppose it could represent a cautionary tale about going with current trends. Looks as if it would shoot well, though, at least from a prone position, and it does have a certain elegance of line in a very '70s retro sort of way (think 1970 Corvette).

I have no idea where the author got the 'Remington' bit. The proprietary MS cartridges were 6.5X54 (M1903), 9X56 (M1905), 8X56 (M1908) and 9.5X57 (M1910). Only after the M1924 (.30-'06) were they available in other chamberings.
