Thumper 15,

I have a serious love affair with this round, and own 6 Swedish rifles in 6.5 X 55. All my Swede's are real Swede's, either fully military 96's or 38's or sporterized 38's. They are Carl Gustav's or Husqvarna's although I do have one Oberndorf in the lot.

I don't think you would be dissapointed with either the CZ or the Tikka, but I personally would lean toward the CZ, as I also have a serious love affair with the Mauser action.

Great round, and under-appreciated for it's ability to shoot bullets of 77 grains up to 160 grains with aplomb with generally great accuracy from the 120 grainers to the 160's.
