I picked up a sporterized Swedish Mauser made by Kimber in 6.5x55 the other day and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. I can remember seeing them for sale years ago in sporting publications but never owned one and seldom see any for sale. Kimber got hold of a lot of M96 Mausers (Sweede) quite a few years ago and cut the barrels to 22 inches, put a ramline stock on, put a bueler safety and drilled and tapped them for a scope. Surprisely it made a attractive sporter. It says on the barrel "Sporterized by Kimber of America, Clackamas Oregon imported by KBI M96. I haven't shot it yet but just finished loading a box of ammo with 45.5 grs IMR-4350 behind a 129 gr Hornady in some Win brass It has a new Timney trigger on it and a decent trigger but needs to be adjusted a little. It has a 3.5x10 Alaskan Guide by Cabelas on it in Leupold mounts and rings
