My 9.3x74R sxs baby brother arrived 6.5x53R sxs.

[Nembwe]

It finally arrived, the baby brother to my K 93.74R
It is a wonderful 6.5x53R sxs.
many thanks to the gents on the site (They shall remain anon)for the assistance and help when this rifle came across my path.

A question I have for all the DR owners is:
What is the smallest DR produced and potentially still in production. The obvious ones are 7/8mm.

Thanks once again a few pics of baby brother and then “big” brother I know its not 470/500 but size is relative right

Is 17 HMR small enough for you?

Very nice, what's the ballistics of the 6.5

Hi TroyF
Not to sure at this stage but they are very similar to the 6.5x54ms I am hoping to get 2400fps with 138-142g all depending on the regulation loads.

You know the twist yet, be cool if it would spin the 160s. 2400 with a 140 would be nice.

Beautiful siblings indeed, enjoy the new arrival

I'm so jealous I could spit! BTW, a seem to remember a Scandinavian gentleman who won the olympic running boar shooting event (back when that WAS an event) with a SXS 6.5 rifle! Anyone care to fill in details?...just to make me feel even worse...

Beautiful babies, congratulations !!!

 

[93marlin]

Both the 6.5 and the 22 Hi-power are amazing rifles. Any double rifle fan would appreciate beauty of those guns, including myself.
The 6.5 is practical as well as beautiful!
Congratulations Nembwe...
