6.5x55 Performance

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.

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!
