Looking for a new rifle in 6.5 swede, seems only Tikka, CZ 550 and Sako are the only ones in that price range I can find. Same as for a 257Bob, just Ruger. Any and all help appreciated!!!
TIA,
Bob
Thanks,
Bob
Too many calibers and not enough time for the working man to hunt with them all.

Howa I believe. You could do alot worse  Most others are only available on the pre-owned market.

GeoW,
thanks, I only looked at the 1500, but the Hoque has it in my price range if it is a decent rifle.

No fly's on the Howa, have a couple of Vanguards and they're good rifles.

My son has a 6.5x55 in a Howa and it is a fine shooting rifle. You won't be disappointed.

Get a long action and about any gunsmith of your choice is making a 6.5 x 55 to your specifications..

Sako Finnlite in 6.5x55 is a good combo!

http://www.chuckhawks.com/choosing_6-5mm_rifle.htm not sure how current the rifle options may be. Win M70 would be used, or a gun that somehow never was sold. Rem 700 Classic probably was made in 6.5x55mm.

Just buy the CZ, they are a lot of rifle for the money. Great shooters, and frankly...if anyone knows of a better factory trigger, I'd like to see it.

You must have a good CZ. Everyone I have played with is HORRIBLE. no CZ will beat a Sako or Tikka trigger  Flinch

CZ triggers on the 550 are fully adjustable single set triggers...when they are adjusted right(user adjustable) they are top notch. I've had Timneys that weren't as good as the original factory trigger on my 550.

My used T3 Swede Hunter Grade will be up for sale ummm sometime next week??? after their 20 day waiting period is at Best Pawn in Sherman Texas. Talk to Cliff - the owner - or Cody. The lil' Bughole shooter was replaced by a used SAKO M85 HG 260 that I got all horned up over....and am missing the Swede already but a deal is a deal.
