The sweede rules. I have four, a sporterized m96/38, a sporterized m94, an unmolested m96, adn a combo 12 gauge over 6.5x55. All of them are very accurate and the round is deadly on deer sized game. Buy it.

Love my #3 in 45/70. I have not found a load it does not shoot well from 300 grain JHP to 525 grain cast.
With the stouter loads, a lot of people do not want to shoot it a second time though.
