For Sale Keppeler 6 mmBR

[RobinC]

As my first step towards retirement I'm offering the first to go, a very trick custom built Keppeler 6mmBR Rifle. It was custom built for me for ISSF 300 mt in 2012, but will actually be ideal for other full bore target events.

The action is the Keppeler square, flat bottomed, light action, the bolt the Keppeler 7 lug design, with an Anschutz 100 gm free trigger, the barrel is a special  (they call it a 600) but its 570 mm (22 1/2"), a Lothar Walther, 1 in 8 twist, that they make specially for the German 300mt National Squad. Its used with a Keppeler 6" extension tube,with solid positive locations, so it can be removed and refitted exactly with no sight error.

Between the wife and I we have had 4 of these barrels,  hmmmm.....they are very good! This barrel was fitted for me at Keppeler in Germany in 2017, and is accurately logged at 1680 rounds. It has always been carefully cleaned with KG after every shoot, and it boroscopes perfectly. the  rifle is complete with sight raisers, and Centra Cube front sight, and Centra LR rear sight, with an iris, and a Mec Lenshood, and mirage band( I have a black one as well as orange!)

The stock is an alloy hybrid Keppeler K04/09 slim stock, black with polished inserts, the butt plate is the Walther KK200 (now unobtanium!) on Anschutz rods adjustable for length, it has a sling swivel and small hand stop.

The grip is a Walther KK300, and the cheek piece is my own design side folding to allow the bolt to open. The rifle shoots superbly (tiny groups) at 300 mts, I've shot it internationally, I've also shot it on our TR club fun shoots back to 600 yards, and even with the soft loaded 300 mt ammo its an unfair advantage! Any one with long range aspirations will know that 6 mmBR shoots superbly at 1000 yds, put a scope on this, and wow, you have a very trick F class rifle! And when you do eventully shoot out the barrel if you feel like a 7.62, just rebarrel in 7.62!

I have some hand loaded 107 gn match ammo specially for this rifle to get you started.

Why am I selling? Just look at that screen, that's not the rifles fault, its me!! I'm now struggling with back problems, and its time to back down. My Wife is a better shot, she has an identical rifle, and has shot world level scores with hers at Internationals, so they are very trick rifles.

I'm not hanging around, it goes quick, before I change my mind!  Or I keep it! , Come on, the first £1850 gets it!

If you are serious I'll take more pictures and Email them.

It's a very specialised bit of kit and not easily transferable to another discipline. I shoot 6BR in 600 and 1000 yard benchrest but the stock and barrel length are not suitable for benchrest.

What other discipline could it be used for?  Maybe it could be used for Target Rifle - if re-barrelled in 308 but that will be c.£750.  A 6BR will never cut it in F Class competition.
