You will love the 6.5. They will not kick the snot out of you, the bullets are very stable and accurate, and will cleanly, with good bullets kill any thing that walks, crawls, swims or flies that won't bite back. I would suggest a Winchester model 70 featherweight. These are a beautiful gun, and is still chambered for the swedish. Also, Ruger chambers the M77MKII for your choice. Good luck!
