I have had a long time obsession with the 6.5x55 Sweed M96 & M38 rifles come in to Australia in the early 1980s sold for about $100.00 many were sporterized , to day a good condition original sells for about $1300.0 An old gunsmith friend & i modified many, he passed away some time ago & i purchased one of his best from his son. unfortunately the bbl was badly corroded inside . I fitted a Lother Walther pre fit cut to 23 inch, refinished the stock & rust blued the metal work & fitted an old Leupold M8 6x scope this is a group at 100 meters using 140 grain Hornady SSTs I have a Tikka T3x super light that does not shoot groups like this.
