6.5x55 custom built rifle.

[Savage Steve]

Built by the talented & well respected Bob Harvey formally of Bailons of Birmingham.His workshop is now at Garlands shooting ground at Tamworth. Caliber is the popular 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser.Considering this rifle was built in the early 70's it is in very good condition & has not seen a lot of use, However there are a few small marks here and there. The rifle is built around a Mauser 98 action which is bedded and screw cut 1/2" its fitted with a  Khales 3-12x50 scope in 1inch Apel swing off mounts and a spare set of rings,it has a Timney Trigger fitted and a detachable magazine. I still have the original floor plate and twin triggers to go with it. A butterknife bolt handle, detachable magazine,  subtle engraving, crisp checkering, nice padded leather sling and quick release swivels.

I want £800 for the lot or £500 for the rifle.

cheers Steve

Yes indeed, this thread is pointless without pictures! (I love pictures )

Pics added

 Hopefully better day tomorrow and can take some outside.

anybody interested I can mail them pics from three years ago when I bought it with original  double trigger and bottom plate.

Only reason for sale is to get a 6.5x55 barrel etc for my Blaser.

Nice rig! I had a Quad 33 pre amp and 303 power amp many moons ago.  Old unit but excellent sound..

Excellent kit, and Brit, too!!.................but a bit too "modern" for me..................I've only just said goodbye to my last valve amp.

What speakers do you have? (Please bear with us, moderator.)

SLi 600is  but still have my 44s bought new in1975 £125. They are in their original boxes in the attic. My son (bless him ) had a party and blew the tweeters, one day I will restore them. My mate has some Studio 66 monitors he doesn't use but no way will he part with them.

Cheeky question, how does the detachable mag work?

[Savage Steve]

Will take some pics of the mag tomorrow, it literally slots in.

I think it was about £40 they might have some more at the shop.

I can't answer your question.

If you talk to Martin at "East Anglian Gunsmiths" he has all the answers and I think he had one left.
