Absolutely! the Ljungman is one of my favorite rifles and the 6.5 is
an all around sweet cartridge.
I've never shot one, but I've heard good things about it as a solid
all-purpose rifle.
My personal all-around bestest rifle is a older Winchester lever
action that was rechambered and re-barreled to .325 with iron sights.
Custom match ammo and that rifle is as accurate at a laser.
Are you referring to the semi-auto Ljungman? Not one of my favorites. I
prefer the old reliable bolt action swedish mauser for 6.5x55 rounds.- Hide quoted text -

Yessir, I was. i dont' have a bolt Swede, but the Ljungman is an
amazing machine. When loading that first round into the chamber, it's
so fascinating watching all those parts sliding around. brilliant
design. then the Egyptiand decided to copy it and make the "HAKIM"
chambered in 30-06 and really kind of butchered the design IMHO.
But harry, i have a couple of 7.5x55 Swiss "Straight pulls" For
military arms, they are absolute works of art. Especially for their
time period they are perfect specimens of Swiss machining.
Extreme accuracy, too!
If I were buying a rifle, I'd want one of the Swedish Mausers or, if I
were buying a new rifle, I'd buy one of the modern knock-off with
"Mauser action." In anything larger than .22LR, I prefer bolt action.

But I am really more into pistols. Here's a target from my day with a
semi-auto shooting .40S&W, 25 yards, offhand.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...us/40-0004.jpg

I shoot .22LR with a nice old Victor:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ous/victor.jpg

and also a Ruger, and I shoot competitively with this work of art:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...us/x-five1.jpg

It's a 9mm Sig Sauer X-5, wearing its everyday grips. It came with a
pair of beautiful wood grips, but I'm wary of scratching them, so I put
the black grips on it. 19-shot mag, one in the pipe = 20 rounds and
amazingly accurate.- Hide quoted text -

Excellent choices. i agree. To me a 22 revolver or bolt action boring.
But one of the nicest pistols I've ever shot was my brothers Walther
PPK in .22. The top of the slide is V-shaped with a little dot on the
far end. No back sight. you eye lines through the V down the slide to
the dot. If I may candidly use the phrase, it's one io the most fun
"point 'n shoot" pistols I've had the pleasure of working with.


The PPKs have a long and colorful history, far beyond the "Bond" novels,
and make a great pocket gun if you like to pocket or conceal carry
semi-autos.
