I have owned a Swedish Mauser in 6.5×55. I found it it be a very handy with a moderate recoil & some really great accuracy.
I have also been told that it works wonders on Swedish Moose and other large critters that they have other there.
(Like for example, quite a few Soviet Soldiers during their invasion of Finland in the Winter war of 1939) Not too bad for a reputation if you ask me!
