[QUOTE="Wallowa Hunter, post: 210783, member: 1177"] My first deer rifle was a 6.5 - 06 Ackley Improved! My dad loaded it with 100 gr SP's. Very mild kicking little gun. It was built on a 1917 Enfield action with a 26'' barrel. Not sure what contour it is but it is a lightweight one. Whole rifle weights right around 7 1/2 pounds. It shoots sub moa at 100! And will shoot a 2'' group at 4-500 if I do my part...... So I highly recommend it! Even if its just a straight 6.5 - 06. It's a fine cartridge, and a great round that you can load with a light boolit! [/QUOTE]
