yep. A 6.5x55 in a #1A should be a neat deal. good power, modest blast & recoil.

I do already have a 7mm-08 (not a No 1) so the 7x57 is kind of covered... not that it really matters

Sorry for all the rifle talk on the pig hunt thread Nonsense! Now we need to derail the thread even further, with your optics choice! I'm thinkin' maybe a Tasco, or a Bushnell Banner would look jus' right on toppa dat #1... FC

FC heretic I've seen .223 recoil kill Bushnells I actually did buy a VX-3 3.5-10 yesterday, but it will go on either another #1B, or on a Super Grade M70 I'm wanting another scope for my .300 Roy, but need to get it shooting better, first.

I'm not much on the fancy chitt as you guys are, but I've got a bushnell on mine and it's fine and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The reticle ain't great though.
