    6.5x55 is a pretty good first cal. In saying that I started with a .303 not that I killed anything with it but have shot a couple of deer with my brothers and they dropped just like any I've shot with the 6.5

    Ive already decided if I get back into hunting lark and need a better rifle I am gonna look for a Husquvana (spelling) M1600 in 6.5x55

    Real rifle with blued steel / wood and prices I have seen all pretty good value for money.

    From what I have read the swedes knew how to make a great rifle and the ones I have seen about were all in the 700-900 bracket and they almost looked new, given they were all at least 40 years old I thought them good value for money compared to the rugers and all the other budget rifles in a similar price range.

    No but is on private and might as well be on public land(any centerfire rifle) so that includes 17cal. Which i don't think anyone would recommend as a deer rifle.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Where does it say that? I thought it just excluded rim fire and shot gun?

    Mate I would happily lend you a rifle. What I meant was that'll be the day that I owe you. I put up with you following me around like a bad fart smell asking me questions when you were a kid. Ha ha ha ha.what about the weekend after your olds get back?

    Ha ha ha I can bring a rifle for you if you want. I don't mind if you ask your old man if he would like to come for the weekend. We could go down on the Friday after your guys work and then come back on the Sunday.
