So I have been putting together a 220 Swift gradually over the last six months to a year. When I got the barreled action it had site basis for a traditional long Lyman or unertl scope. I never thought I'd be able to find one of those scopes, without spending an arm and a leg. Surprisingly at our local gun show this weekend a lyman super target spot 12 power showed up a table, and I got a good price from the seller. Here's how the rifle looks now. All that is left is to refinish the floor plate which had some mild to moderate pitting.

1. The altitude above you
2. The runway behind you
3. The fuel on the ground

Nice looking job - the scope really gives it that classic look.

AguyinAK: What a cool looking rig.
Let us know how it shoots.
I am glad you got an affordable deal on that scope - they indeed are usually rather pricey anymore.
Enjoy.
Great pictures by the way.
