Charlie64Thoughts on a 7x64 Dan Fraser of The Black Isle Scotland
.
A private sale - Dan Fraser rifle 7x64 (Brenneke) on a Mauser 98 action, double triggers, superb wood and a 1980s Zeiss scope with the typical German 3 sight picture ( 2 horizontal and 1 half middle ). Keltic engraving. Magazine 5. Pristine condition.
Will try and source pictures.
A stunning rifle.
I am very tempted!

Alf, That doesn't help me to say "no, I don't need this rifle!"
What you wrote fits the bill. It's an excellent piece of gun smithing.
Trouble is I have a 7x57 on order ! similar calibers .....

So hunt the 7X57 and cherish the 7X64. Now wasn't that easy?

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Michael RobinsonThe Black Isle Dan'l Frasers that I have seen are indeed fine rifles. Some were made on Mannlicher-Schoenauer actions.
M-SDid you buy the Mauser?

Heym SR20They are very nice rifles. A good friend has a 7x57 built on a South African Musgrave action. Celtic Engraving in action and rings. It’s very nice and shoots well.
7x64 is a very nice all round calibre.
