Every time we have a vintage rifle match at the club, I pass by the rest of my collection and go right for mu (1910) Swedish Mauser. I've owned several in the past including Orbendorf production. These are an absolute joy to own and shoot. I'm always amazed at how little recoil this rifle produces!

Interestingly enough, there are still a few modern production rifles to be had in the 6.5x55 Sweed. It's reportedly still a popular hunting round in Europe (where allowed.)
