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.
