    Given that Sweden or Switzerland remained neutral during the war, they were not included as options.

    Thats a shame as the Husqvarna / Gustav M96 6.5x55 is brilliant.

    Ah, but the Finnish received 77,000 M96 rifles after the Winter War and Swedish Volunteer Units used them in the Winter War.... While they may not have been used by the countries that made them, they were in use.

    Too late to change the poll now so we can just reserve an honourable mention for the M96.
