I know we can get the 6.5×55 but I was hoping to find the one that came with the varmint barrel so I don't have to put a new barrel on it. This is more of a target rifle so I want the heavier barrel.
The 6.5 “Swede” is a marvellous target caliber. And good enough for pretty big game too.
The problem is that most Americans associate the cal with old Krag Jörgensen rifles that don´t stand up enough pressure to get the long (for its diam) bullet upto the proper speed.
Well – the modern rifles chambered to that caliber do that, easily, and due its sovereign ballistics the cal is widely used in Scandinavia (and Northern Europé) for LR shooting competitions.
