I love my 6.5 Swede. It is very accurate and easy to handle. Low recoil and did I mention accurate? Mine isn't the real long sniper version though, its the shorter more civilian version. (Still learning about the different types). All the #'s match and its in excellent condition.

Most of what I have heard and read about the Swede though is that these guns where known to be very accurate. I am sure that there are the shot out or improperly taken care of rifles out there though.

I would like an AR too, but there's just not the history behind them that you get with the older rifles. I think the days of history where nation warred against nation for control of territory are largely passed. Maybe not, but ARs won't ever have the historical association of a WWI or WWII, nor will we be able to own the actual rifles, only semi-automatic versions of the real ones.
Garands, Springfields and Mosins are the very ones used by the folks who played a role in history and one can dreams of the stories your rifle could tell you if it could. For ARs, all you get is one somewhat like a "real" one (M-16/M4).
Just perspective from a history nut.
