Hi Jonah,

Sweden is actually quite an interesting country nad unlike Charlie MOST Swedes (trivia Question--what has that word to do with livestock food?) readily admit to Sweden being a Socialist Government. Of course they also haven't found it necessary to emigrate to reap the benefits of the US of A.

I picked up one of the last sporter rifles produced by Carl Gustafs before they converted over to only military weaponry (much sold to third world countries) in the 70's while on a little visit to the country courtesy my Uncle Sam. A really pretty .25-06 every bit as accurate as my Steyr TE but not designed for rough usage.

PS - If I was Swedish I would have likely stayed in Sweden if only for the lefse and crullers!

"Statistically Sweden is not as many believe a rich country, In Europe only people Portugal, Spain and Greece have a lower capital worth.
Yes Swedish people are amongst the poorest in the "industrial world ".

Hmmm......
"The casino also boasts high priced whores, who will charge up to $500 for a meeting".
