Westley Richards chambered bolt-action sporting rifles for the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser in response to demand from Scandinavian clients and British sportsmen who had adopted the cartridge for deer stalking. The 6.5x55's combination of high sectional density, moderate recoil, and excellent accuracy made it a natural choice for the precision-minded stalker. Westley Richards' barrel-making produces particularly consistent results in this caliber.
