[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1549721, member: 105102"] Those M96's are really nice old rifles! I had a Kimber-Re-do for awhile that I passed on for someone else to enjoy when I found a different one on GB.....It has had a bunch of smith work done to it, It has a Timney trigger, Cock on Open conversion, and Winchester swing safety installed, original barrel cut at 24". It needs a new stock, which I should get on this winter so I can see how she shoots! Most people say no on the COO conversion, but I like it a lot, . I guess we will see how it hold up. I'm a softy for these old sporters......M96/98's, SMLE's, 1903's, etc. It's hard to not get caught up in the newest and shiniest rifle in the safe, and I really enjoy getting reminded that these old rifles not only compete with their modern counterparts but often far surpass them in quality! Same with Cartridges.....the 6.5x55 is a really nice all around cartridge that gets shunned as outdated by many.....If I ever saw a lefty Tikka in it, I don't know if I could pass it up. [USER=28295]@hunter67wa[/USER] Just curious what powder you run in the 6.5x55? I used Varget, and H4350 in the Kimber model, but always wonder if there is a different one I should try. [USER=79488]@ericbc7[/USER] I'm pretty sure that is an inert training round/gauge....But I could be wrong! [/QUOTE]
