My last 6.5x55 had a 29" bl. I shortened it to 22" and Schnabbled the forend tip & soldered on a ramp and blade sight. Looked pretty good, for a slightly modified/cobbled mil rifle.

For an iron sight truck rifle - it was OK, My buddy had to have it, so I sold it to him, but not before getting a B-Square or some other scope mount that replaced the rear sight.
I didn't get a scope on it before losing it, however the irons gave me 1 1/2" groups with 129Hornady @ 2,960fps, 140Hornady @ 2,820fps and 160 Hornady RN @ 2,500fps.

They all shot into a 2 1/2" to 3" group, however the individual groups for each bullet weight, were 1 1/2" or a bit smaller.

Those 1 1/2" groups are what made me want to put a scope on it, just to see how it might shoot.

The original stock was beat up like most mil. stocks, however the barreled action appeared to have been unfired, ie: NEW - but - had a .266" groove to groove diameter.

You cannot tell how they will shoot, without shooting them.
