I think a 8x75RS with a bullet in the range of 180 gr to 200 gr would make a neat medium game rifle and also handy and effective for running game. The rimmed equivalent of a 8x68S in a bolt action.

So lets start a new discussion. Why not a 8x68RS? The rimmed equivalent of the 8x68S. We very rarely hear of the 8x68RS?




I have only seen two Austrian doubles in 8x68s - chambered for the rimless case. I don't like the 8x75RS as I think the neck is kind of short. 8x65RS Brenneke is a very appealing round. an 8x68RS would also be sweet. It would be quite easy to neck up 6,5x68R brass to 8mm...

9,3x65R Brenneke would be a perfect cartridge for those whom wants to use hunt big game. More suitable than the x74r.

I checked some old Blaser catalogues. There used to be a n 8mm Blaser R that seems to have been discontinued
