7.5x55 cheap to buy, several models to chose from and very accurate out to 1000yds

7.5x55 cheap to buy

Hmmm. Tempted by the K31s, how cheap is cheap?

[quote="Tower.75"]Cheers, but nah. I dislike telescopic sights, don't know why.

you wait till your older and need glasses then you will know why :lol:

Some nice K31s here, and a few others too http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul.tvg/page8.html

Hi Tower.75

"how cheap is cheap" Try Andy Allwood, got mine (vintage straight pull post) for £240..

What 6.5x52 Carcano? Dromia has a very nice looking one - http://www.pukkabundhooks.com/index.php ... 52Carcano/

or here's a Lee Enfield in 8x50R

last time I was there he still had a cupboard full at that price K31's and K11's

Another vote for 7.5x55 Swiss, I find the balance on a k31 suits me better. I added a slip on but pad, it fits better then.
I was at Andys a few weeks ago and he was on about getting some more Schmidt Rubins.

Ok, think I'm coming over to the idea of 7.5x55mm Swiss.

I like the look of that Carcano - They're a tad rare, aren't they? I've only ever seen one... once. I hate having to think about what I want to buy before I do - you watch, I'll ask for authorities for a 7.5x55mm and a 8x56R, and I'll find a pristine condition Mauser for £100 :cool2:

As as been mentioned before technically you're only required to ask for a calibre not a cartridge. :-P

So why not ask for a 7.5mm -that gives the option of 7.5x54mm (MAS) and 7.5x55 and 7.5x53mm (schmidt Rubin) and 8mm lots of options!

That way you should be covered for most things that might come along!
