I use a Husqvarna 6.5X55 M96. Yes it is a military design, but it is a Commercial rifle NOT a military rebuild like many people will tell you. The rifles are inexpensive and shells are cheap and readily available. They are extremely accurate, 1/2" groups at 100 yards are normal and are excellent long range rifles and I'll put one up against any new commercial rifle, regardless of manufacture. I own Savage, Remington, Ruger and Browning rifles also. BUT the Husky out does them all for accuracy.
