DF,
No proof on bbl. so I think some smith stuck it on. And did it very well! It’s a very light rifle. A joy to carry. I loaded up a bunch of Sierra 125 grainers for it. Just haven’t had opportunity to shoot it yet. Be perfect combo for here.

DF,

Just haven’t had opportunity to shoot it yet. Be perfect combo for here. Good plan,shooting lighter bullets in a light weight '06. I have a very light HVA '06. It does really well with 130 gr. Hornady SP, (not the varmint version). Will shoot thru a WT and is a killer at 3+K fps. The 125 NAB is another good choice. If a 130 will shoot thru a WT, why get beat up with 180's, etc... And the extra speed helps. DF

I concur DF! One of my reasons for the lighter bullet is my gimpish right shoulder. I believe its eaten all up with the arthritis or something. Will try a box of those Hornaday 130’s. Im a fan of their bullets. Truth be know, it will take me forever to shoot up these 125’s! 😁

Unless one was hunting bear or bigger animals, the 125-130 gr. class of bullets seems to me to be about optimal. Here is another option, Cutting Edge Bullets Raptor. .308, not '06. Accurate and a real killer. Petals fly off, core bores on thru. Works kinda like a mono Partition. DF

Great pics and nice rifles !
I’m just a Mauser wannabe with a cz550fs in 9.3x62 and a interarms mark x in .375 h&h ...
I hope to buy the “real thing “ in a 375 or 404J at some point and Jeri my eyes peeled for the right one

Geez Louise,,there is some mighty nice wood on this forum. If I could ever figure out how to post pictures on this thing, I would post a couple of mine. Kinda sorta Mausers anyway. They are Mark X Interarms rifles in 9.3x62 and 7x57.. In custom wood of course..Kind of a nice pair to take care of most things. Les
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.

Just a basic early 50's FN Supreme 30-06 in the mountains of Namibia. The 169 gr TSX's just worked.
