Totally agree. They are rather, er, agricultural compared to the other German makes but they still have their character. I admit to being a collector of BSF rifles but even I dont like to '54. To much like the Hungarian Swamp Donkey for my liking.
As I stated earlier, the only tuning I have done is reduce the power. While some examples of the '55 are well capable of going over the legal limit I find they shoot best and most accurate at the 10 ft/lbs mark.
