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.

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.

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! 😁

With WT sized animals, the 3+K fps impact is great, hits like a magnum, kills like one.

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.

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.

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

Hard to beat a Brno 21 action for a custom build. They do take a lot of work to bring them to the level of refinement they deserve.
