i saw a carl gustav or carl something 6.5x55 swede today. it had a beautiful blonde leopard looking stock. it didn't have any scratches in the stock or in the blueing. it was an absolutely great looking gun. it had a scope mounted but it looked like it was just a cheap tasco. other wise it was a great looking gun. plus the price was only $440. sound like it would be worth it??? i doubt i'll buy it but it's just something to think about. they also had a very nice savage 99 in .308 that was in good condition but it was over $500.
