I bought and am waiting to pick up a vintage benchrest rifle. It's built on an Al Weber action and is chambered in 6ppc. It has a 27" barrel, sits in a huge wood stock, and weighs 17 pounds. It will just be a fun range target rifle. I already have another Weber rifle, whose original barrel was a slow twist 219 D Wasp rechambered to 22br. I added a fast twist 22br barrel and really enjoy the smooth action.
This new to me rifle is chambered in 6ppc and that's about all I know. Oh, it has the same great Canjar trigger as my other Weber. I have a set of dies and some usable brass that I will see if I can make work. I need to figure out how to see what neck the barrel has (cerrosafe? other methods?)
I've got some old 68gr BR bullets and some 70 SMKs. A few powders to choose from.
One thing that I noticed and gave me pause is that this rifle's bolt has an exterior claw extractor unlike my other Weber rifle.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting this rifle some use and shooting some small groups with it.
