Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Pics of my new Kampfeld Custom 220 Swift

MM,
It does look good on paper.But Ill still take the light stuff under 500.I have always found lighter stuff quicker to tune.
If you really want to go beyond 500.Im thinking a bigger gun is a better bet.
But thats just me.

Same principle applies no matter the caliber.....

By the way great looking rifle.

Looks better in real life than paper.

Twisting for the heavies opens doors to more versatility without closing any.

More RPMs on the light bullets only increases the goo factor, and reduces ricochet possibilities.

Not a door opened i need I ain't selling it and it is my rifle and I really don't give a [bleep] what anyone else thinks build your own and run the heavys, I really don't give a [bleep]. Thought some of the guys would like to see another Kampfeld rifle, not have a five page discussion over the [bleep] twist.

BMD,

F it buddy!! If you are happy, then don't worry what anyone else thinks, says, posts or whatever. I think you have a damn nice rifle built from a guy that knows how to build 'em.

Now go shoot something!!!

Take care,
300

Wondering who pulled your string another gay azz post, Karnis hit the nail on the head.

No, this is a gay azz post! Crying on an internet forum... Priceless!!!

You are in so far over your head,someone needs to pump daylight to you.

Very humorous that you are fighting tooth and nail to cover your tracks,in regards to something which you've zero comprehension about. Gotta be painful to remain silent in regards to a blueprint that used all of your processing powers,yet you've nary a clue in regards to it's throating arrangement and it's YOUR rifle.

Suck it up,wipe away those tears,open your ears and there's a glimmer of hope you'll learn more than a little(I suggest you take notes).

Increased RPM has no ill affects on the bullets you cite,yet will enhance terminal affects on scene,as an absolute minimum. With a modest thunk in the direction of throating,some very nice windows of opportunity slam open and are eager to impress.

The Swift is a compromise to the 22-250AI,when talking longrange fun in a repeater...but purposely paying to hamstring it out of the gate with a 14",is akin to buying a new truck and specifying you want every other cylinder cemented off.

Very funny,that you aren't even playing dumb and that it's inherent................

Suit yourself. Just tryin' to open your eyes a little.

Oh it's purty, a hell of a barbeque rifle for sure.

A fast-twisted .223 will smoke it at any kind of distance though.

Oh great...steal my thunder.

(Sulking away to chow,deeply saddened)...................

Cat got her tongue.................

BMD,

Nice rifle ! You got it the way you wanted it.Your the one paying for it!
If your happy that's all that matters.

You will never make everyone happy,for sure not here !

I've not built a rifle before. When I do it will most likely be a .223AI or a 22-250AI. I've always planned on using a fast twist as I've had good luck with them in factory jobs.

But what does a guy do in terms of the throat to be able to use a broad range of bullets? If you have it throated to shoot the long heavies, does it typically shoot the itty-bitty's like schit?

i don't know the freebore number, but i have two .223 AI rifles that will kiss at 2.45" ish with the 75 A-max, and they also take the 52-55 grain bullets to the lands with plenty of neck. the mag box needs "fixed" to run these, but that is as easy as removing the filler at the rear of the box and installing a .3" or so filler instead.

even my 1-7" Hart barreled rifle will shoot the 55 NBT and the likes very nicely. like clay pegeions at 550 yards. but with the 75 A-max, i can hit the broken peices of said clays at that distance.

my 1-8" Brux barreled .223 AI is better on all accounts. i just mention the 7" twist to show the faster twist is not too much a concession.

Thanks toad. Appreciate it.


Travis

BMD,
While your rifle is not exactly my taste, I do have a lot of appreciation for it. But that is not my point. You built a great rifle exactly to your specs to suit your desires. If the few trolls who keep pulling their own chain cant appreciate that they can get bent.

In the end you have exactly what you want and they are still on the sidelines.

I am looking forward to hearing range reports about your rifle. Considering what it is and who built it I bet it will be a tack driver. It would be awesome for smacking prairie poodles out here.

Thanks I will let you know as soon as it goes to the range.
