My Dad has been shooting his Swift since the 70's, but the barrel finally burned up. It gave me the perfect excuse to rebuilt the whole rifle, and turn it into something even better.


Ruger M77 Overhaul

very nice ! enjoy your rifle

Thanks! We have put it to good use, it has been the terror of the local Marmot population

Those rifles shot pretty well. I have a friend with a couple still new in the box. Don’t ask because he won’t sell them. Edk

WOW ! very nice video ! looks like a lot of fun .thanks for posting the great video,Pete53

Very nice, enjoy!

My very first "varmint" rifle, way back when, was a custom Mauser with a 26" heavy barrel in 220 Swift. Accounted for all kinds of critters, great cartridge!

I love varmint shooting!

Good stuff right there!! I currently have a M700 VSSF .220 Swift and will upgrade barrels when this one wears out. Silly thing makes bugholes at 100 with 52 grain Sierras but runs outta stream at the longer yardages.

This rifle used to shoot the 52's and 53's. Thats what we burned up the last barrel shooting, and boy did they shoot good. Funny thing is I still have a few boxes of my handloaded 52's from over 20 years ago, and this thing still loves em. But I for sure wanted it to be able to shoot the 75 ELDM's for longer range stuff, and bigger varmints. Thats why I went with the faster twist.

Nice write up. I love my 220 swift, when it need a barrel I think the only thing that I will change is going with an ackley chambering.

I've had LOTS of Swifts and this one is far and away my favorite. Hint.






.545 BC's at 3200fps from a 21",do not suck. Hint.

Just sayin'....................

Thats for sure, it wrecks the varmints

Moose,Elk,Bear,Sheep,Goats,Deer,Woof’s and the like. Hint…………

At what distance does the 75 grain overtake the 50 grain VMax bullet at 3800 FPS? And what distance does it have an advantage?

SchitSmell,

From the muzzle you AMAZINGLY Dumb Fhuqk. Hint.

Fhuqking Laughing!………..

Congratulations, you are to shooting what rap is to music…

SchitSmell,

I'm happy to be whatever you NEED most, in your hilarious World...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

You are a Magnificent Lying Piece Of Fhuqking Schit. Hint.



Very GOOD call to abandon ALL things The Rifle and focus your music. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!......................

I love the Swift. My rifle is a Cooper Montana Varminter and it will turn a prairie dog into smithereens of whirling flesh with 55 grain V-Max's

Honey,

55’s are a fhuqking joke and starting velocity isn’t impact velocity. Hint……….

What is really funny as how ignorant wretch like you can make comments about someone else’s Shooting and be so certain about it when the nearest prairie dog from you was probably 2000 miles. Even with your laughable artillery you couldn’t make a shot that far…


Hint….

You Professional Victims are a hoot! Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!………

Good article, enjoyed it. I've rebuilt my old M77 as well. Good to keep them up & running

Nice gun👍

Best 220 Swift overhaul i ever did was to send it down the road.

I have two and use them both. Right now one is my main rifle I carry in my truck for come as it may varmint shooting. It is shooting 50 gr. vmax very well.

Indeed it is! I love this old cartridge, it still kicks ass all these years later.
