I have a Winchester Mdl 70 in 6.5x55 that I cut the bbl back to 20" on and put it in a Mannlicher stock. I worked up load using 140 Barnes X bullets that is very accurate. It has become the "family" favorite, and just about everyone in the family has killed a whitetail with it. It is the favorite of the grandkids because "it don't kick like the other ones".
