Hit the nail on the head Gerry35. I wish they made a 7x57 as well. That would be another perfect match for the action.

Those long vlds sit above the neck shoulder junction in my 6.5x55. Not sure if it’s related but the 2 most accurate factory rifles I’ve owned were both chambered in the 6.5x55.The current one being a Tikka t3 with a simple blued barrel and wood stock. It’s very threatening to coyotes at ridiculous ranges.
