It surprises me that 6.5x55 is mentioned in this thread as possibly being redundant. Tikka still make them (as does Blaser).
There must be thousands of the M96 & 93 ex service rifles in NZ.
Mine is a modern (20 years old) S&L and is superb.
N560 and 140 AMAX or Gold Dots at 2840fps and its good for anything. 21.5" barrel.
Its the second 6.5x55 I have had and they both have been superbly accurate.
The S&L is my only heirloom rifle and its ear marked to go on to my sons. I even keep a little note book tracking the loads and details, and the loaded ammo in stock so that they can just pick it up and use it when the time inevitably comes.
Everybody knows the 308 was made redundant 61 years before it was designed.
