I have really come to like the 6.5X55 in recent years....deadly accurate, not a lot of noise and confusion when it goes off....just a nicely balanced cartridge. BTW, I have not killed my biggest buck with the Swede, but I have my furthest and closest....same load, same results. Mathew 22: 37-39

Wilke - both are very mild recoiling, especially if you reload like I do. I make up some practice rounds with Trail Boss that are just a step up from a 22LR so they can get in some quality time on the gun. Even with regular loads, recoil and muzzle blast is tame, and when you're shooting at game, you just don't feel any recoil Only issue for some (not me) is that if you don't reload, then it's tough to find ammo at your local big box store. I have another rifle very much like these 2 in 7mm-08 that I'm trying to get my wife to use, but she doesn't have a great desire to hunt.
