Anyone have experience with MS 6.5x54 and 9.5x57mm

Does anyone have any experience with the Mannlicher Schoenauer cartridges 6.5x54mm and 9.5x57mm?

The 9.5x57 is also known as the .375 Rimless Nitro Express.

I had a look at a couple of Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles this weekend.

The 9.5mm with a hinged peep sight on the bolt shroud. The 6.5mm has open sights plus is tapped for scope mounts and has a 2.5x Weaver scope in a high set of mounts. Both are in fair to reasonable condition. The bores on visual inspection look OK with no noticeable damage.

The 6.5x54 would make an EXCELLENT general medium game rifle in this classy rifle.

I looked at references on the 9.5mm and it is about 200 fps faster than a 375 Winchester but can take spitzer bullets. I think it would make an excellent Sambar deer brush rifle especially as the rifle is nice an light.

I also bought a laser sight, which I think would go well on the 9.5 mm.

Any comments or knowledge on this rifles, cartridges etc would be appreciated.
