THAT'S the round! 6.5x55mm Swedish. M-700s are NICE. I've had three. One got stolen (ARG!), I gave one to my brother in law (.30-06 ADL), and I've got an ADL chambered for .243. It's what I hunt with mostly. I LOVE the adjustable trigger! You can take ALL the overtravel out, lighten the pull weight, and break distance to a VERY sweet trigger! The newer ones even have a little access hole where you can SEE the trigger and sear overlap while you adjust it!

The first one I had (the one that was stolen) was bought used. The guy before me had adjusted the trigger and didn't seal up the screws properly and over time, the sealant (looked like nail polish to me) broke lose and the screws came loose. A buddy of mine chambered a round with the safety ON and the rifle discharged! Nobody was harmed, and I had a gunsmith friend of mine readjust it before I used it again!

Blue Loctite is my friend. :-)
