in saying that the 303 will of killed more than most calibers out there
6.5x55 is a pretty good first cal. In saying that I started with a .303 not that I killed anything with it but have shot a couple of deer with my brothers and they dropped just like any I've shot with the 6.5
Ive already decided if I get back into hunting lark and need a better rifle I am gonna look for a Husquvana (spelling) M1600 in 6.5x55
Real rifle with blued steel / wood and prices I have seen all pretty good value for money.
From what I have read the swedes knew how to make a great rifle and the ones I have seen about were all in the 700-900 bracket and they almost looked new, given they were all at least 40 years old I thought them good value for money compared to the rugers and all the other budget rifles in a similar price range.
I thought it had to be centerfire .222rem minimum exculding .22hornet and shotguns. So no .17's or anything rimfire allowed
