I got on board the 6.5 train back around 2007. I have THREE 1896, 6.5mm X 55mm Swedish mausers.
My baby though is my Ruger #1(6.5mm X 06) with a Lilja 32" SS, 8" twist, recessed crowned heavyweight barrel.
Got a sweetheart of a deal on a NightForce 30mm diameter, NSX 8 X 32 X 56mm scope with an illuminated reticle.
IMHO the .264/6.5mm caliber is so close to perfect. Bullet weights run from 85 grs to 160+grs.
All the hullabaloo about the Creedmoore had me laughing because the .260 Remington had been delivering great performance and more before Mr. Creedmore came around, lol.

MR. DENNIS OLSEN at Plains, Montana did ALL the customizing, FLAWLESS work!!!
I had him add a barrel band since the sling mount on the forearm would not balance it.
Will be glad when I can get my health back so I can put it through it's paces!

The other 2 rifles are Rugers', both .22-250, a #1 and a M-77.
If I had money to burn, the #1 .22-250 would have a 28" barrel.



THESE RIFLES ARE NOT FOR SALE.
