The swede does it all so easy

It's accurate, deadly, and easy to shoot. Domestically chambered rifles are sometimes hard to find. That's the only knock I have on this fine cartridge.

The .270 doesn't do it for me. Seems like a .30-06 or .280 Remington will do just as much and have wider selection of bullets than the oddball .277 cal.

If more kids were introduced to hunting w/ the Swede we'd have fewer rifles in .30-06 or .243 stacked like cordwood at the local gunshop.
What I'm trying to say is the swede makes a perfect starter rifle that you can use on just about any large, non dangerous, game in the states.
 
Fella's;

I'll second that comment by Colt46. I bought my son his first center fire game rifle for his 16th birthday. The Remington Classic in 6.5 Swede.

Go ahead, try to get it away from him. You won't like the results. Unfortunately he's not able to use it now as he's vacationing at sunny Baghdad International Airport & they frown (severely) on non-standard toys.
