    I'm guessing is quite a bit outta my price range. I'm looking for a shooter to hang a scope on and shoot with my creedmoor hyping buddies

    Barrel was d/t for a Burris Scout mount which is still mounted AND has a Lyman receiver sight mounted. The original iron middle sight was removed. Questions? - - - Pepe Ray

    Got this, M94 with heavily sanded stock and holes drilled for peep on back right of receiver and flash hole added at bolt face on front right of receiver. Bottom side of bolt has been hollowed for weight savings. Trigger guard and nose cap also drilled with weight saving holes. I have a old Boyds stock I’ve not fitted. Was going to turn her into a hunting rifle but doubt I’ll get to it.

    I have a Model 96 in 6.5x55 that was sporterized by Kimber of Oregon. It has a modern trigger like a Timney, the bolt is bent for a scope and it is drilled and tapped for Weaver scope mounts which are included. They must have hard chromed the action and barrel because it is silver like stainless steel. It is in a tupper ware stock and I put a nice recoil pad on it. I can only remember shooting it one time at silhouttes in St Louis and got 18 out of 40 but that is all off hand shooting from 200 to 500 yds and it was my first time at that game. I will take $350.00 + shipping and insurance of $40.00. If shipping is less I will refund you the difference. Excuse my spelling.

    zymguy,

    I have another M96 with a mismatched front barrel band and a shallow chip near the butt plate. It doesn't affect the safety or performance but is a definite cosmetic blem. All the metal is excellent and a nice bright bore in excellent condition. I'd take $400.00 for it. I've never shot either gun but they both should be fine shooters with excellent bores.

    I could make available to you a factory 6.5x55 Norwegian Krag I purchased a few years back. Not D&T for scope, has a receiver sight instead. Dark walnut sporter stock, right handed- I'm sure this is not a sporterized military rifle, but a factory sporter- 1919 date on receiver if I remember right. Bought new set of Redding dies, Lapua cases (200) and jacket bullets for her, but have never shot her.
    PM me if interested, I could unpack her (recently moved) and get some pics-
