Plowed my way through another thread started:
a) prove ignorance b) give a chance for chest thumpers to thump c) start a fight.
My 2 Lincolns:
1, The 220 Swift is semi-obsolete.
2. The 22-250 is a better choice
3. Both are great varmint rounds.
4. Trying to make any .224 a big game round is just an ego trip.
5. I have 2 Swifts, a M70 Target and custom No. 1. Both great rifles for varmints and targets.
6. All the OP needs is a 223 of which I also have 2. A Rock River and No. 1
Always amusing to watch the Stick prove he has more stuff than almost anyone.
Also rewarding to watch Shrap try and provide a rational alternative.
I hesitated jumping into this thread on Saturday when the OP first posted it because Lil' Dick was the first reply ( and obviously he can Fhuquk up a thread like non other), but I am a Swift lover since it was the first Varmint rifle I ever bought when I was a kid.
I have 2.....220Swift's 1 is the classic 1-14" twist and the other is a 1-7.7" twist. Love them both but have a bit of an issue with this list.
#1 the Swift is old school for sure but not semi-obsolete
#2 I would take a Swift any day over a 22-250 and I own several of those (with the exception of the 22-250AI love those)
#3,#4 completely agree
