    Nice! I thought about a BRJ but went for the BTVS instead.

    I must be lucky or you were really young? I found it really pleasant to shoot. You had me worried as my first shot I was remembering this comment and it does have a solid butt pad so I was waiting for a sore shoulder but nope.

    This one must be under 20" as its tiny. They were made with 19" barrels I think

    It didn't sound too bad from behind it but I had a mate getting the bike reckons it sounds mean as from a distance

    Blaser R8 with my 6.5x55 barrel on it. Barrel arrived on Wednesday morning and was in the hills on Thursday. All load work done by the norma factory, cost $75 per 50 rounds.



    Shoots ok to. First 5 shot group with only 10 rounds down the barrel. This group includes the cold and clean bore shot to, so there is no need to foul this barrel before you go hunting.

    You have your pic of the rifle reversed? Bolt is on the gay side😊
    I suspect you can improve your shooting with a lighter cheek weld. It will tighten that group up at least😂
    Very nice......for a gay 8

    Norma factory ammo. Norma brass with a 144gr Sierra HPBT BC is .580. Almost cheaper than buying norma 6.5x55 brass by itself.
