Never thought when a kid, my beloved 270 round would later be viewed by me as BORING.....that said it never stopped doing what it does well.
Gimme boredom......if I want "excitement", rifle cartridges ain't where I'll look....I'd rather go hunting,among other things.
That said, I'd take the 6.5 Swede...I never "got" the short action thingy....It ranks right there with variable scopes for me.
Boss Lady, nice rifles!
