Seconded, I've had two NCStar scopes, both of which never held zero for more than a shot, and one of them which shifts a good 5" at 100yds when you move the adjustment dial a click. Good luck if you decide to go this route, but I'd highly suggest spending a bit more and getting something that...

I'm looking into purchasing one of the new 2008 Model 70s from Winchester, the Extreme Weather SS model. It's primarily going to be for hunting, but I'd like to have fun at the range with it too. I'm planning on 30'06 since it seems to be more versatile (can load heavier bullets than the 308...

Anybody know where I can dig up a Sako Finnlight in 6.5x55, or somewhere that can order them? I can't even find any on gunbroker. I'd prefer new, but would consider used if necessary. Also, anybody know where you can order barrels for the above mentioned rifle? I'd like to buy a few, as I...

I didn't see your listing, but perhaps you've priced it too high? These type of pistols aren't known for holding their value superbly well, especially in a caliber that isn't very popular to begin with.

I agree with Jackal, as far as I'm aware, the only "true" holosight-type sights are the Bushnell and EOTech variants. If you're going to be playing at the range, Bushnell, if you're going to be dragging your weapon through mud - EOTech. :) Never tried the BSA variant, is it a "true" holosight?

Great, thanks. I'll pick up some other caliber easier on barrels for the "fun" shooting at the range, and the 6.5 for target/hiking/hunting. Cheers, David

The only issue I'm seeing with Shilen is the extremely long wait time to get a barrel (unless you find one used.) I'll easily be putting 1-2k rounds through a barrel every month the way I shoot, so I'd literally have to start ordering 3 months in advance and order a barrel every month to two...

I am (potentially) open to other calibers, feel free to make suggestions. I'm also considering the 7mm-08, from what I've read it's ~ the same in ballistics, but has more downrange energy, with only a slightly increased recoil. Sounds like it might be easier to find here in the US, as well. I...

skinewmexico, I'm going to check out that site you suggested! Thank you for all of your advice. Out of curiosity, for hunting/long range shooting, which would you suggest - the 6.5x55 or the 6.5x47 lapua. I've heard good things about that cartridge as well, but it seems to be mostly mentioned...

My only problem with the CZ rifles chambered in 6.5x55, is it doesn't look like you'd be able to get a synthetic stock. If I'm going to be doing a stock swap, I might as well build the whole thing as I please. :p I just noticed that savage target action seems to be single shot only, I'm looking...

skinewmexico, I was looking into your suggestion. It looks like I can buy actions from savage directly. I'm guessing I'd be looking for the "standard" bolt head? http://www.savagearms.com/TA_223_Bolt.htm Coupled with a bull barrel: http://www.shilen.com/savageBarrels.html Still haven't found a...

I'll look into all of these options you are suggesting. I am totally open to (and in fact, would love) to build a rifle to my suiting. I know nothing about doing such a thing, but I most certainly will research what I can! Thank you for the helpful advice, look forward to more! Cheers, David

Hi all, I'm looking for a modern 6.5x55 bolt action rifle. I've read a lot of wonderful things about this cartridge, and the long-distance performance is appealing (for competition) as well as the performance in hunting medium sized (NA) game. I was originally considering the .308, but other...
