Steyr Mannlicher cl II 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser

[A-zone]

A recent acquisition, I put together a few loads to see if this rifle had some potential.

The results were quite satisfying. (130 grain Barnes TSX with Reloder 22, Lapua brass, 2.5-10 Swarovski scope) Distance is 100 yards, shot from the bench.

The central square is one inch across so, it's nicely under a MOA. (Target should appear 90 degrees clockwise)

Well done. Can't tell from the pic, but does the rifle have single, single set or dual set trigger?

Thanks. It has a single trigger, so I assumed it was a single set trigger. However, the "set" feature doesn't appear to be functioning. Instead, the adjustment screws are sealed with white lacquer and the trigger functions as a two-stage trigger - long take up and clean release. I'll write the manufacturer to see whether it was made that way. Still, the performance is excellent.

Nice rifle regardless of trigger. I still have a few Steyr rifles left.

If your Steyr trigger is similar to my Prohunter, you can remove that white paste and you can adjust the take-up a little. Steyr will tell you to not touch it, though.

Nice rifle!
Would love to find one in left hand!
