I was finally able to run out back for a quick function and sight check today. I picked up a box of S & B 6.5x52R 117 gr flatpoints at my LGS (haven't found anything else locally) to try out and it looks good! Around 75 yds off cross sticks the first shot was a couple inches low so a revolution on the Lyman brought it up about 1 1/2". I gave it another half turn after shot #2, then loaded up 3 and let fly. About that time the sun came out bright over my right shoulder and that's what I'm blaming the two hits slightly off to the right. (that's my story & I'm stickin' to it!) Hoping to get a lot more range time in with it, but good enough for the game & range I'll be using it for if I don't. What a pleasant shootin' rifle, I really like this little .25-35!
