I want a 6.5 Swede and the ones I want do not import to the USA or do not make it in that caliber. If I buy a Weatherby Vangard what calibers can I get it in and not have to rework the bolt face. Since I will have to by a new barrell for it, would want to beable to use the old one too.

You're out of luck there, they make the Weatherby in .47 bolt heads for M88 derivatives, and the next size up are the H&H based magnums in .532. The 6.5x55 is .48, so a quick spin on the lathe should take care of it from any standard 30-06 or similar cartridge.
