What is the best surplus buy today?

[Cal Sibley]

Maybe I just don't understand or maybe the old Swedish mausers have suddenly disappeared. Remington, Ruger, Winchester and others are all chambering rifles currently for the 6.5x55 cartridge. It's finally getting its day in the sun, and I'm quite glad since I've enj0yrf the old M96s for years now.

Although I'm not a great fan a lot of deer and moose are taken in Canada with the venerable old .303SMLE. Some have been sporterized but many are in their original configuration, and quite popular even today.

Best wishes.
