[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2546465, member: 24446"] Wow, great info, thanks all. The prices are better than I expected, definitely putting one of these on my list. One of the things I read about the 6.5 Swede was how good a hunting caliber it was. How across the pond it's the most popular caliber for hunting big moose and such. Over here the internet has trained a whole new generation of shooters that you can't hunt elk with anything smaller than a .338 Win Mag, or moose or brown bear. Nothing smaller than a .308 for hogs or black bear. That without a bullet that punches through a bad guy wearing a denim shirt and a parka and then two interior walls and an exterior you are at a distinct disadvantage should someone break into your home. These guys make my eyes roll involuntarily at their "facts"... and yet, the world survived without all these horrible outcomes before the development of the S&W 500 magnum. Folks over there must think American's have lost their minds when they read our forums about the "minimum" caliber for ***** is. Anywho, thanks for the info, I apologize for the soapbox rant there. I really like the history behind old military weapons, I've always stayed in the U.S. arena but that Swedish Mauser is pretty cool! [/QUOTE]
