[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 2572545, member: 14520"] Swedes are excellent rifles and as others have said the 6.5 x 55 round has mild recoil. We've hunted with them for years using hand loads with Hornady A-max bullets (similar off the shelf ammo is available). The Swede will take down any game animal in America. I'm almost positive the bolts are not stainless but I have not seen a rusty one. The price on Swedes with matching serial numbers have come up in recent years but the prices others have mentioned are what I've seen too. Remember that the Swedes put a serial number on everything...really! An all matching serial number Swede will be quite a bit more than one that does not have matching serial numbers. But don't worry if the numbers don't match. All the Swedes I have and have competed against shot really well. [/QUOTE]
