Yeah, the Leupold 1.5-5 is parked way far back, a condition demanded of it by my neck.

That's some good looking wood on that Carl Gustaf. I need to use some stock whitening on mine to get some old oil out.

Just couple ol plain janes for me. 1 is a model 70 classic featherweight. The 2nd one is a ruger African, it was one of those special run of 1-200 made.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The 6.5x55 is a sweetheart. Been around for longer than most and still works like a champ..

A Mauser pretty much looks like the other....mine is a 1919 Swede with the 29 inch barrel..
I've taken it deer hunting a time or two..
usual ammo I load for it, is 30 grains of 4198, with a 140 gr SP... MV is like 2400 fps..
that old stock design tho.... with that load it kicks less than a full throttle load out of one of my 223s...
I enjoy the hell out of my old Swede....

No good pictures of it, but it’s just a plain Jane M70 Classic. Good shooting rifle with 140 Accubonds and 26 What kinda velocity you getting, has to be close to 3k with that much RL26? Thanks SD

BSA thats a beaut of a 96 Thanks Igloo. It is fun to shoot. I stalled for a year before I bought it. Didn't really know if I wanted to shoot in the military rifle shoots my club has, but I figured what the hell... Its nice because it gives me practice from the weak side. I told that to the club president and he said, "bullshit, you don't have a weak side". ha ha.. I can't take all the credit though, that dang Carl Gustav m96 just about shoots itself. All I have to do is point it!!!

The figure on the stock on that one is something.

These are three of my 6.5X55's. I just got the Ruger African and plan on hunting with it this fall. Have another 6.5X55 made on a 1935 Mauser action, but I don't have a picture of it yet. They all shoot great as any fan of the 6.5X55 would expect.

I've accumulated a few boxes of Lapua 155 grain. Has anyone tried it or hunted with it? There's a moose on the box so I guess its alright for deer.
