The only thing I've shot this year with it is a fox and a target. Have you seen this one up for sale next week? I'm on the point of taking the plunge and trying reloading for it, but am a bit hesitant about buying all that kit and it turning out to be an unsuccessful experiment.ħx57 seems a very tempting alternative calibre. I'd like to be more confident about my limitations with it beyond 80-100yds and ideally hope to be able to shoot acceptably to 150 or 200yds.

I very seldom practise with it because I have little ammo left and no availability of factory ammo. I'm not sure that the 500yd leaf on the rear sight is a practical feature. I/ it shoots groups of around 3-4" 100yds. I'm not sure how accurate it is since I can't tell from shooting over open sights whether the size of the groups are down to me, the ancient Kynoch ammo I have for it (160gn RN), or the rifle.

I doubt it's a collectors piece, it's pretty well used and there are two or three different serial numbers on it.

Mine is a Mod 1903 from 1906 with a large round bolt handle. Would you mind if I asked who did the work on yours? I've been thinking about getting mine scoped and have held back so far - partly because I was worried about it looking wrong and not knowing what to put on it - and partly budget. A lovely gun and very informative photos of the scope mounts. I've enjoyed checking out the photos you posted of yours. If your eyeglasses are not working well for iron sights, get a pair with a single fixed prescription ( no bifocals or variable lens ) just for shooting with iron sights? Put those on when game is in range and make a good shot. Get something in impervious finish, synthetic stock, and 6x42 scope for rougher weather and bad light. Why don't you keep it, and just use it in good light, as you would with use some fine old rifle only in good weather. Once I hauled mine out for him to handle it, I knew I had to sell it to him, and he did take it to Africa. 318 Westley Richards and crying about how he had searched for a 6.5x54 MS to take to Africa along with his restored. I used it on deer with the iron sights and the scope, then was talking to a friend who was restoring a. I just bought it to keep any Philistine from despoiling it. I had one of these 6.5x54mm MS in a stutzen, early 1950s, with a factory swing off mount and 4x Zeiss scope. I would love to see the rifle in question The 6.5x54 was also used by the Austrian military during WWI. This cartridge was adopted by the Greek military in 1903 and was their standard caliber until they were defeated in WWII. The human eye automatically centre the front sight in the centre of an aperture but it still has to be able to see the aperture! Set of five 6.5x54 MannlicherSchönauer dummy rounds or 'snap-caps'. A fibre optic front sight would fix that but they are ugly and you are still left with finding the rear sight. They're no better in low light mind as you will still lose front sight. Find a smith who is and you will discover the best open sight known to man, although likely at a price.Īpertures are faster, more precise and easier on the human eye than any other non-optical sight I love mine. Have you considered an aperture sight? A properly skilled gunsmith will be able to mount one to either the back or top of the bolt, although I am no expert on this. Regards the sights, I haven't used express sights in anger but have always loved the sight picture. Not cheap but it'll keep the old girl shooting and will add values the rifle if you chose to sell. Hopefully the link works but dies are available here Not to be confused, or the same as the 6.5X54mm Mauser, 6.5x57mm Mauser, 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser, 6.5x53.5mm Daudeteau or 6.5x52mm Carcano.Unfortunately I don't have one of these lovely rifles but I figured I'd post anywayĪs you hinted at in the latter part of your post, reloading will be the way forward for you regards getting ammo.
