I bought a safe queen Winchester "European Featherweight" in 6.5x55 in 2016. I'm fairly certain it had never been shot except for proofing @ the factory. It had a
gloss Leupold 2x7 on it and neither the bases or rings had even been tightened. They only made 400 of them in 86" according to the last copy of Fjestads Blue book I had . The rifle has a set of sights on it with the front having a hood.
I took that scope set up off upon recieving it and put a set of Talleys on it with a gloss 2.5x8 Leupold . Did a little trigger job on it and dang that thing will flat out shoot.
It really likes IMR4350 with Hornady brass and a Hornady 140 interlock.
After hunting with it just once it is the one I always reach for. It punches way above its weight and is a pleasure to shoot. Plus, like a 300 H+H it has a certain kinda swag about it IMHO.
OP hold out for "TheSwede" , It's what you want.
