I see you are getting one ragged hole. Can't beat that.

I'm going to try some slower ammunition, but without a scope the limiting factor seems to be my ability to see the 3" target from 50 yards away.

deep 13 nice fs, thought id share some pics and results from the range



i was in a hurry to try it out w/scope, but next time i will try with iron sites.

from the factory


first time at the range, w/scope, rest, 50yards. top right is my best 5 shot group

wow, nice group. what kind of ammo were you using?

[SGRAVESOK]

They also make that beautiful Mannlicher in 6.5X55. I'm drooling for one of those. Seems like they run around $600 plus--maybe some day.

[Deep13]

Very cool. So you have those European sights in quick release? If so, what brand are they?

[Windwalker]

Deep13, that is one beautiful rifle. Great choice.

Addressing the original question - hated Mannlicher stocks at first, got in to collecting milsurps, now I love them.

And it's pronounced "Monn-leeker", which should keep the leers and giggles to a minimum. ("Uranus" I can't help you with...)

SGRAVESOK- Take a look at a Sako Carbine in 6.5x55 !!

Again, I know this is an old line but I have to agree, the full stocks are really great looking. I'm looking a a 527 FS that has some of the prettiest furniture on a production rifle I've seen in years.

And CZ rifles shoot really well too!
