    Are Winchester and Ruger the only companies besides the military that have chambered rifles for this cartridge.

    Remington, Kimber, and Sako, also have or had rifles in the Swede. Remington had a short run of them. I used to own a 96 Mauser Customized by Kimber, I sold it to my Cousin. Sako still makes them.

    Winchester also chambered their featherweight model in 6.5x55 for a short time.

    Winchester made the featherweight in 6.5x55 Swede at least through last year. Steyer also chambers rifles for this round.

    I have a Winchester Featherweight now and love it, but I wish Ruger would come out with a stainless, synthetic stock version. I would buy one in a heart beat. Georgia arms has the best ammo I have found for the Swede. They have 120gr Ballistic Tips at 2850fps. Tack drivers.
