[QUOTE="Yrcan, post: 733526, member: 27493"] Hello good people. Some years ago I purchased a Tikka M695 in the great caliber 6.5x55 SM. After a while, I wanted more down range power, so I made my gunsmith open it up to accept 6.5x65 RWS cartridges. I have shot more than 200 deer with this gun, and I have also started shooting long range with it. I mostly use 140 grs Accubond for hunting, and 139 grs Scenar for paper and steel. I have shot it out to 1777 yards on ice, but the wind made it hard to shoot a good group. Vertical spread was zero. I am planning on shooting the 140 grs Berger VLD Match next year, and push it even further. Longest kill on deer is 685 yards. Shot a high shoulder shot, the Accubond went straight thru, cutting the spine, leaving the deer right there. Had some fun with it sunday, and filmed it, thought I'd post it for you. I'll post more later, when I shoot further away :) This was shot on ice at 1257 yards, using the 139 grs Scenar. Mv is 3117 f/s.
