I've had several .22-250s and one .220 Swift, a Ruger 77V. Got rid of all the .22-250s but still have the Swift that I bought used in 1991. It's pretty far into it's second barrel, but continues to shoot so well I doubt I'd ever get rid of it. I use mostly the 50 grain Sierra Blitz or Spitzer. Great coyote rifle, and, as my gunsmith friend remarked once when comparing the Swift to lesser .22s like the .222 or .223, "coyote kills with the Swift are more dramatic". They are.
