I know prices vary a lot but out of curiosity what does a new typical R8 sell for over there? Just trying to calibrate myself in comparison to US prices.
Which all round rifle in 6.5 CM
- Thread starter Domer
- Start date
Have a look at the Strasser RS700, High quality straight pull based on a rem700 footprint and rem type aftermarket trigger. Actually has a safety not like some other Euro overengineered ........ Strasser uses good Lothar Walther match barrels as far as I understood. The only straight pull that would interest me and available in US as far as I know. We just received our first two barrelled actions in 6.5CM.
RS 700 fitted to rem 700 PSE Evolution stocks. RS 700 use M5 footprint AICS type floor plate.

I don't know if there is an agent for Strasser in the UK. I will try find out. Maybe someone else here knows.
This week we finished our first Strasser rifle for a local customer here in Ireland who wants to use it in PRS comps. We have a second sporter version which will end up in an Evolution stock and used as a demo with us. Both were bought as barrelled actions.
The 6.5CM Strasser in an E-Tac stock bedded by us with Atlasworx mag system and MDT 10 shot mag. She has optional Arca rail. Hope to test this weekend.

I know it’s been nearly a year since I posted this but due to family and work stuff it’s been delayed some what.
I have a spare weekend in early October to get to a few shops and have narrowed my choice to two rifles.
Mauser M25 Max - like the idea of a TH stock, adj cheek piece, left hand option and straight pull action.
Sako P90 Hunter - always aspired to own a Sako, trigger and action seem to be good quality.
There are left handed options for both and both have a 20 inch barrel, which doesn’t bother me for my sort of hunting.
I think that the Max will give me more weight and more control but I think the Sako will feel better quality.
I guess I’ll have to pick both up and see which feels best

I have both an Anschutz 1782 and a Heym SR21 both of which are chambered in 6.5 CM and both are left handed. I got them both to the range today and shot them on paper at 500 yards. Very happy with both of them as they shot groups from just over .4 MOA to just over .5 MOA. I attached a few pictures of the rifles as I have them set up and a few of the groups I shot. So either one of these would fit the criteria that the OP was looking for in this post.

It’s not a lightweight rifle but it’s all steel and it shoots better than I ever expected.

Which model Heym is that ?

The M12 is a significant step up in quality from the M18.

SR21. It wasn’t inexpensive to get one brought into the United States, but I had an itch that needed scratching. I have no regrets. The quality is excellent.
