Default RE: I love the old swede.

Jake, I don't know that the swede is "inherently accurate", I would assume it is, but I've not shot it nor seen it fired from any of the "modern guns". Mausers are prone to being quite accurate, so it's a possibility that the gun is doing more than the round, however, I've always associated the 6.5x55swede with uncanny and EASY accuracy. The Mausers, even sporterized are heavy, and rather long, so they're typically quite shootable, so the gun might play AS MUCH a part of the accuracy as the round, and it's kind of an "off-populus" round, so usually only experienced shooters ever handle one (you know guys who aren't afraid of "metric calibers")...

I personally would say it IS inherently accurate, but what is the true determinant factor of "inherent accuracy"? I've just always thought of it as being on average very accurate in most guns, while like I said, I've only ever handled them in the Mausers (and one CZ)
