A rule of nature is that no two predators will occupy the same niche in any given ecology... Coyotes kill foxes...

There will be no hey-day for any 6.5 in North America... Forget for a minute that the advent of the .270 took a huge bite out of the .30 share of the market, and simply focus on real practical differences between the Swede and the O'Connor...

there is no denying that the swede is either good or practical on it's own merits, but the simple truth is that it's only real leg to stand on in America was it's collectability as a militaria item...
it simply does not overmatch the .270 in any quantifiable category, and it's "coolness" is both passing and ethereal... loonies travel on...
