One for the riflesmiths - rebarreling a 6.5x55


Toby

Recommended Posts

I have a Sako 75 in 6.5x55 that I am pondering rebarreling. I am thinking 270W, 7x64 or 8x57IS. The magazine length is no problem as all of these chamberings are offered by Sako in the 75 IV action. What I am wondering is if the Swedes slightly larger case diameter will have anything to say and would it require altering?

No, the difference is marginal.

 

Most .473" bolt faces will take the 6.5x55 case head - (which is .480")
