I have a sporterized Swede in 7mm-08. The only mod I did to it besides tapping for a scope was to replace the bolt handle with one that is more scope friendly. I do not shoot hot loads in it, on the other hand, I don't shoot hot loads in any of my rifles.
It's a very accurate rifle, somewhat heavy with the Fajen walnut stock, but still one of my favorites. I started to leave it in 6.5x55, but some Gomer had chopped the barrel to 20 inches, and I had a Shilen 7mm blank.
