My first Swift was a rebarreled Mauser with a pencil thin 22" barrel. It was accurate for about 5-6 shots, then it started opening up. My current Swift, which I've had for close to 25 years, is an old tang safety 77V with a 26 inch barrel. It went back to Ruger when I first bought it for a new barrel as the old one was toast.
Were I to rebarrel it or build another Swift it would be a 26 inch, varmint weight barrel with either a 1-8 or 1-10 twist.
