Thanks for all the replies! This has been very informative, especially the link provided by Float Pilot. The rifle is a m/96 made by Obernsdorf in 1900 with matching numbers, so it has been interesting to read the history of these beautiful guns. The round ring in the butt stock would...

Thanks for the replies. We've got some Prvi Partizan in 139 gr SP, and S & B in 131 gr SP. You think those would be OK? Edit: Missed the previous post, kind of answered my question...

What ammo would you recommend for a m/96 Swedish Mauser built in 1900, for hunting purposes? Or maybe I should ask what ammo should we avoid? The caliper is 6.5 x 55. I am concerned of shooting too hot, modern loads through the gun, exceeding the pressure ratings. Maybe somebody with...

Check out the Beretta PX4 Storm Sub Compact in 9 mm. If you can find one at your local BassPro Shop, they will take $50 off the sale price of $579 if you use their credit card. If you don't have the card, sign up for it and they will take an additional 10% off bringing the price to $476. This...

May I suggest a 6.5 x 55? I have a CZ 550 in 6.5 x 55 and it will fit your bill for everything else, except maybe the price. Mine is the full stock: http://www.cz-usa.com/product_detail.php?id=17 Here's a review of my gun just after I bought it...

here's my CZ 550 FS in 6.5 x 55: http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee68/ushunter/CZ%20550%20FS/IMG_0836.jpg Great caliper, great shooting gun!

Cz 550 Congratulations on choosing a great caliber. I was in the same situation as you about 6 months ago, did my research and the more I read about the 6.5x55 the more I liked it. I have this gun: http://www.cz-usa.com/product_detail.php?id=17 and I absolutely love it! Accurate, well built...

Have you seen this baby, looks pretty nice! If I didn't have a 620 already, I might go for one of these! http://www.smith-wesson.com/wcsstore/SmWesson/upload/other/1852_idpa08_ltd.pdf

Wow, thanks for all the replies! I feel better now about doing the LASIK, kinda freaked me out thinking somebody will operate on my eyes. However, so many people I know have done this and all of them are very happy with the results. Plus I was concerned about the effect on shooting accuracy...

I've been wearing glasses over 30 years, so all the recent talk and ads about the LASIK procedure has gotten my attention. It would be nice to get rid of glasses and it would widen my line of sight, a plus when hunting. For those that have done this, how has the LASIK surgery affected your...

Art, Tri-focals sound like a good idea. I've been thinking on glasses dedicated entirely for shooting and hunting, so this might be a way to go.

Ranger, thanks! Exactly what I was looking for...

I must be getting old...Noticed that the front sight on my CZ 550 FS "disappears" in low light, so I am turning to you guys for help. I am thinking that some kind of fluorescent paint applied to the front sight would help me see it when its starting to get dark. I do not want to change the...

Has anybody tried to shoot the Swedish surplus ammo from Samco?

That's right, if it's made in China, why would they advertise it as an American made? Hmmmm....
