Few questions regarding a 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser I recently inherited. It's in beautiful shape and is the most accurate rifle I've ever fired with just iron sights. 1) Where might I find another bolt for it so I can have it turned down by a gunsmith but leave the original straight bolt intact. 2) does anyone make a drop in sporter stock for this rifle? 3) Nobody seems to make anything approaching a "hot" round for this cartridge. Any ideas (I don't reload). In any case, I have no intention of doing anything to this firearm that can't be converted back to it's original military configuration. Thanks. h2oskate

I have had two Mauser 6.5X55. the first was original military, sold that and got an import from Century Arms that had a sporter stock. Had it drilled for scope, sporter bolt handle put on, rear sight removed and safety changed to Winchester style.
Great shooter and deer rifle. For 140gr Remington core lok you don't need anything hotter for deer/black bear hunting. Norma ammo is loaded a little hotter.
Another bolt might need the head space re-set.
A picture of mine before I put on a 4X12 scope is in my profile.
Good luck with yours.
