I am in the process of buying one right now and have a strong lead on another. They are a really good rifle and I am hooked on them.

I have an '03 and '05 but the '03 has a nonstandard chamber and will go to the 'smithy one day for a ream and a bolt-end peep sight. The '05 is one of my choices for whitetail this year in 9mm. Looks like lots of fun with the 6.5. Lots of fun. Be Well, RZ

I may break out the full stock MCA .358 Win M-S this weekend. That one has a 20" barrel. This one is 18". What's a little honest wear anyway? The pictures are priceless.

Thanks for sharing!.... I’m going to use 6.5X53R that I just picked up this summer for deer and bear...I wish i could share photos (too lazy) it’s a M95 sporterized, supposedly, for a German officer with silver pig inlays, skip-line checkering, Kahles/Wien scope in claw mounts,and a cool Lyman receiver sight that actually swings as the bolt engages it then returns to position. Have a 160 grain Hornady load and a 140 grain Hornady SP load that shoot well in it.

I got to hold one of those MS rifles just like the boys when I was about 10 yrs old. Slickest rifle I ever saw! It too was a 6.5x54. Love to have one!
