I have a few milsurp Swedes and also one of the guns Kimber was making up in the late 1990's. The US was flooded with M96 Swedes which, having seen very little use since Sweden was neutral in both World Wars, were in excellent condition. These were some of the nicest finished military guns ever made.
Kimber bought up a bunch and sporterized them, bent bolts, silver coating, plastic stocks, etc. If you bought them in 6.5 you got a turned down original military barrel. They were offered in the .308 line (.243, 7mm-08, .308) which got new barrels and were more expensive.
I got a 6.5 for less than $200 and it shoots within 1-2" with factory ammo. There were some reports about the .308 class having lug setback.
