I have been looking for a 6.5x55 rifle for hunting. Was looking at the Tradex site but trying understand the difference between Carl Gustav 1899 - 1925 vs Mauser vs 1943-1944 Husqvarna and Schultz & Larsen M69 rifles
 
I have a Tradex "M69" (they're actually M58 and some have newer M69 stocks). I can tell you that they employ K98 actions and bolts (often mismatched) left behind by the retreating Germans, while the Swedish variants are based on Swedish "Mauser" actions (M96) which are also excellent. Both utilize S&L medium-heavy contour barrels. They also employ different types of diopter sights. Personally, I can't tell the difference of what sights are better. They take some getting used to!

I opted for the large ring K98 action because of their interesting history. You can't go wrong either way.
