If you can get one in the US get yourself a BRNO Model 2, have it bedded and floated if it isn't, very very accurate and you will not be disappointed, mine LOVES Rem. Yellow Jackets and Eley Sub Sonics

One of the best scopes ever made IMO, wished they would bring them back at a reasonable price, not like the the new HD variety

I have had a RCBS 5-0-2 since the early 70's and it has never let me down, still in the original box, if you can find one they are so good I doubt anything newer would be any better, Cheers from Downunder

You will love Sporting Clays (Field & Game here in OZ), I shoot a Zoli Columbus 20ga and it does the job every time, my other goto gun is my 1976 Winchester 23 XTR made in Japan, both exceptional

The Sierra Game King is the perfect choice, that is all I use in my 1907 Carl Gustaf M96, 22" BBL in a custom Euro Walnut stock using IMR4831 @42gr and will kill emphatically you shoot, excellent all round bullet, fishoneil in OZ

I used to shoot for fox pelts back in the late 70's and early 80's around Inverell in NSW Magnum, when they were worth AU$45 to $60, then the arse fell out of the market when the anti fur trade loonies stuffed it up, shot 'em with the 222 Anschutz 1532 using 45gr Hornady Super Explosives (SX)...

I don't wish to hijack this thread, BUT I would be interested in what you load for the 6.5x55 Swede, I have not long bought an old (1906) Carl Gustaf in a European Tiger Walnut stock and am trying to work up some good loads using 129 SST and 140 Sierra's, what is you rifle, barrel length and...

What about the 6.5x55 Swede, it will do everything you want to do and accurately, IMHO

Great story mate, congratulations on a great buck and greetings from a 75 year old in OZ, know all about aching joints and them there steep hills

Lab to box of donuts "Peek a Boo, them chocy ones looks the goods"

RIGBY from the UK, expensive but beautiful

My 1906 M96 6.5 Swede is my go to, sleek bullets up to 160gr down to 90gr TNT for foxes and dogs, none walk away

Mate, I had a 6mm Rem built on a Sako L61 action many years ago by the late Bill Marden here in Sydney Australia, with a No.3 MAB barrel (all blued) in a beautiful walnut stock. That rifle did everything I asked of it from very big Billy Goats, Fallow Deer, wild Dogs, Roos, and Foxes using 70...
