As Steffen says its a great system,not only how far off the bull in mm but also group size and a zoom function at the push of a button,neat!I still use paper targets elsewhere.The 3 shot group here was Lapua Mega 156grs 3 shots at 100m.

TR and Steffen, that is a very neat system. I haven't seen one like that before, maybe can have one myself one day.

I meant to ask what number 75 action is your rig built off of?? Number IV, or one of the others?

Mine I just received is actually a M-75 itself.

Thanks guys--Don

Hi Don,it's a 75 IV action.It has been glass bedded,dropped into a Mac stock and screw cut for the moderator.I resisted the fashion of shortening the barrel as I shoot the rifle without the silencer almost as much as with.I guess that I'm lucky but the POI difference with/without moderator is under an inch.To be honest,the rifle shot really well before,but it's nice to get them the way you want em!Have a good New Year regards Toby

Is the 6.5 X 55 really superior to the .260 rem? I do have a 6.5 barrel....

the 6.5x55 is superior to anything.
it does everything you can do with a rimfire all the way up to a amraam.

but let's be serious for a change.
if you for any reason prefer a .260, get one.
the 6.5x55 has a slightly larger case, but the .260 works with slightly higher pressures.
in "ladeboken"(a reloading manual) velocities differs up to 50fs both ways.

I was set on a 260 until I read this thread..

And if they really need convincing, just let 'em borrow a 6.5x55 It's performance speaks for itself. I wanna go shoot mine now!

I must apologise if this constitutes a hijack,but has anybody used a GScustom bullet in the swede ?
