I personally don't own one, but the guys I know that do, love them.
CMP sold their last M1s some years ago, but they ever get any back in, they will sell out almost instantly. There is definitely a fan base for them.
These are great guns. My dad built a couple deer rifles for family out of these.
I think Remington even chambered the 700 Classic in a 6.5 some years back.
