I came across this rifle by chance. It is an Atkinson Custom mauser in 6.5x55. It is one of those rifles that fits you perfect. It comes to your shoulder effortlessly, and you are immediately comfortable and on target. It is one of two or three rifles in my collection that does this. Because it is in one of my favorite all around cartridges, and is capable of handling every North American game animal, as well as varmints, I choose it as my one and only keeper (assuming someone puts a gun to my head.)

For the scope I have a Swarovski Z3 3-9x36 or a Shepherd P3 10x40
