Thanks Larry.

We try to have fun!

"My" deer are used to us logging and firewood cutting and all the slash piles left around waiting to burn, but a slash pile in the middle of a hay field? I guess they didn't mind...

As for the CZ 6.5 you refer to, it was a tank, a real crew-served weapon. When the carbine outweighs the rifle by 2 pounds, something has to give. In this case, the barrel! I already have a cutdown 17" Ruger 6.5 and 22" bbl 6.5's, and like them alot, so the 20" bbl 6.5 CZ did nothing for me. Really, tho, you take a look at a CZ550 action and it is massive, like a 1917 Enfield. Not the platform for a light carbine IMO.

CZ has it now, and will be spinning on that take-off 9.3 barrel.

I'll post the results when it comes home. Must cobble some 9.3x62 ammo now. I want the carbine 9.3x62 to duplicate or just a bit beat the performance with shorter barrel what the pictured {in this thread} 9.3x57 Husqvarna does with the long 24" bbl.
