Several years ago I sold my first 6.5x55 to a cousin of mine. He is now selling all his guns as his health has ended his hunting days. He did however remember that I ask him to let me know if he ever wanted to sell it. I went down the other day and bought it back from him. He never got around to shoot it and still had the reloads that I gave him with the gun. It has a World Ckass straight 4X power scope on it. Those were good scopes. Very clear and very dependable. I sold about 50 of those straight powers with never a customer coplaint.. This one shot 1/2 to 5/8 inch 100 yard groups with the first load I ever tried which was the 140 Grain Hornady bullet with 3031 powder. Can't wait to get out to the range with it again.
