mo3 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hope you like this one fella's, it was built by Chris from Anglo Rifles. The build consists of Sako .75 Action Walther Barrell chambered 6.5 x 55 Ackley improved 290 tight neck MacMillan A5 stock. The 3 shot group was shot while fire forming load as per target photo. All the best to everybody. MO3 P.S I am nothing but praise for Chris's work. This rifle is the dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millwall Paul Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thats one pretty rifle, I love the stock, it's just the one that I'm after for my Sako. What was the over all lenght of the barrel just out of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n8ess Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Very very nice 6.5x55 Ackley? should be a great performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kenneth Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Would I be correct in saying Ackley never actually did any development work on the 6.5X55Swe? I have always understood that it was not until the mid 90's that was two guys from the states who set about seeing what they could do with this old calibre and found it achieved some of the highest performance gains of any "Improved" cartridge.

Guest Kenneth Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I think you are right the idea came out off the states then the 65 x 284 Isn't that always the way though? You think of some some idea of a firearm configuration or an improvement to a said calibre to a only to find some yank has been and done it 10 years earlier. I'm just waiting to see who's the first to start using the .280 British Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streeker59 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Sweet..... Love the stock.. The more i read about 6.5 x 55 ack the more i want a rifle chambered in it. Not sure about the tight neck bit... Does it really make a huge difference in accuracy compared to a standard chamber ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 please excuse this if it makes me sound like a doughnut but would you need a variation for the calibre if you already own a 6.5x55 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
