I’ve always though that the 6.5x55 was underated.I was lucky to find a Swedish 1896 sniper rifle with a 1900 Carl Gustaf receiver dated 1900.That rifle will shoot right along side of my 700 police sniper.
When I lived in Western Kansas back in the 80s my neighbor had an FFL. He ordered six Swedish Mausers at one time for me.
They were all the 29 inch long barrel and were made anywhere from 1896 well up into the 20s. One which I have never seen before, had the Mauser crest and was made by Mauser. The rest were Carl Gustaf or Husqvarna.
They were so nice and such a bargain that he ordered several more for himself. Unfortunately the price on clean Swedish Mausers has increased more than inflation and by a good bit.
