Thread: Swedish 6.5x55

Greetings All,
This thread has been an interesting tale. Many years ago an evil person in a gun shop gave me a Norma ammo catalogue. After perusing the ballistic tables I formed the opinion that the 6.5x55 was a damned good cartridge. I lusted after one for years until I bought a M38, slightly sporterised, from a work colleague. No new rifles in the calibre were available. I trimmed the stock down a bit, fitted bases and a scope and a friend fitted a new bolt handle. Later I fitted a Dayton Traister cock on opening kit and trigger. The lust for a new one persisted until I found that The Tikka T3 was available in 6.5x55. Now I have 2 and neither is going anywhere.
Regards Grandpamac.
