Who chambers drillings in 8,5x63R?
Currently convinced my self I need a steel shot proof drilling in 12-76/12-76/8,5x63R, anyone making such a firearm as a standard item?

I know it´s not listed, but I mean you get the 8,5x63R as special order for the Blaser D99 and as standard offering for the Krieghoff Optima.

Thanks.

I'd previously been told (via email) by Blaser that they had no intention of offering the 8,5x63R in the D99 bewildered not sure if there is work going on there behind the scenes or not

The Kreighoff is a nice bit of kit but seems to weigh more than most in their TS models
