[QUOTE="knc1105, post: 897948, member: 23577"] WOW!!!! great rifles and your bolts look great. I have never seen a 6.5 Swede that was in good shape that did not shoot like a house of fire. In Europe it is one of their most popular calibers kinda like our 270 Win. here, but it still has not really caught on here yet. An inherently accurate round with very little recoil and plenty of knockdown for deer sized game. In our local Service Rifles Matches we have every other month that alternate with a 3-Gun, if the wind is not howling I shoot one of two M96 Swedes in the bolt gun class. Both have -0- bores and one has a modified Mojo sight and since pic I added a front sight hood, the other was a team rifle with Soderin Diopter sights with front hood and interchangeable inserts and a factory pistol grip. They are fun and incredibly accurate. We shoot standing at 100 yds, sitting at 250 and prone at 500. If the wind is gusting bad, I shoot some other rifles because all those matches are won or lost at 500. I shoot a Custom National Match M1-A in the semi-auto class. I have a very nice FN-49 that I do not have enough range time on yet to shoot in a match, but It's a great rifle with a factory elevator peep sight. Happy Shootin, Ken [/QUOTE]
