The big brother to my 6.5x68s, is my newly acquired 8x68s
21/10/25 10:41 PM

The big brother to my 6.5x68s, is my newly acquired rifle in 8x68s cal.

Just like my 6.5x68s, I had never heard of this 8x68s cartridge until I was offered to purchase a rifle in this caliber. It is a Sauer Weatherby Mark V made in 1964. The very first Mark V rifles were built in Germany by J.P. Sauer, and under license from Weatherby, Sauer was able to build Mark V rifles for the European market in various calibers. This is one of them. The 8x68s cartridge is a very powerful 8mm cartridge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8×68mm_S

This unique rifle has a 26" no. 1 contour barrel with an island rear site and a barrel-banded ramp front site. It also came with a claw mounted scope. I was able to find custom loaded ammo from Reed’s Ammunition & Research ... https://reedsammo.com/product-...tric-calibers/8x68s/ ...
The ammo shot very well in this rifle and I expect to use it for hunting Wisconsin whitetails this Fall.
