So, I finished putting this thing together in February and finally got out this past weekend to shot it. All I have to say is that I'm in love with 6.5x55! This is the first time I've ever shot one (decided to build it based on everything I had read). Took a little warming up, as it's been awhile since I've been to the range, and for some reason I had the trigger adjusted higher than usual. All and all I'm super happy with it. Definitely a keeper
This was the best group of the day (6rounds @ 100 yards, shot with PPU 120gr match, plan to start reloading for it soon).
