I'm not looking to burn up the charts with this rifle just do somthing a little different. The end result I want is a light handy rifle with a 24" tube that will come in at about 7 lbs. or so when scoped and done. As far as performance I would like to see about 3100fps give or take with a 130gr bullet probably a 130 TSX. I think this quite an obtainable goal considering Barnes states getting almost 3000fps with a standard 6.5x55 and a standard 130gr X bullet. I want a rifle like this for combing the hills here in ND for antelope during season and thought this little 6.5x55 AI would fit the bill nicely and be a little different than the rest. Thanks for the feedback guys.
