Thanks much Pat for posting. I really enjoyed the photos, especially those taken with the old Swift.... What is it about the 220 swift that gets everyone's attention? 4,000 ft./sec.

It is the history of this particular rifle. Pat can fill you in if he so desires as well as recent photos of the rifle....
I love the Swift as well!!!

I fought hard on an auction, for a Win Pre 64 in 220 Swift. It had the heavy barrel, and had never been fired..Just a beautiful rifle. I went $2650 before giving up. $3225 won it. I wasn’t even close to owning it...😢

you should see the pales he took this morning. Stunning pic. I saw that pic, and your comment was absolutely spot on. A fine composition, and the Spring season background still looked like the barren, polar ice cap. If one didn't know they were April dogs, a guy would calculate them to be January specimens. Beautiful pelts...
all learning is like a funnel:
however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end.
the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...

I bought it used for $300.00 and it had a 15x unertal ultra varmint scope on it, for that time period it was the ultimate Pennsylvania groundhog rifle. Back then there were many groundhog hunters in Pennsylvania today not so much except for me, last year I shot 64 and the year before 104. Sadly I don't have that swift any more or any for that matter, today I use a few .223's a 22x47 Lapua a 22-250 and .204 Ruger. Joe
