I have tried to snag one of these conversions at auction but they always fetch too much money for my wallet.
Don't wory, they are still plentyfull over here.
And no one want's them, word is that you can get killed shoting them.
Some handloaders tryed to "hotrod" the 6.5x55 with devastating results.
They are not ment for modern highpower rounds,
but not everyone understands that.
I have three myself, two original CGm96 and one HVAm96 "hunter special"
All of them were gifts, only cost me the licens fee
Gunlaws here states that "one can only have 6 hunting rifles"
No "fun guns"
so hunter kind'a sort out all but the absolutly best for their need.

I don't
