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

I guess you think the man building the rifle is ignorant as well. Not much else to say except [bleep] you and your thoughts, must be A miserable life walking around with your nose azz high To the rest of the men in the world and trying to make up for your short comings!

Pretty easy for me to reflect concisely,due to my having the aforementioned twist rates at hand and having shot extrapolations of all sorts.

I've no doubt you are very uncomfortable in your blatant ignorance,so much so that you now wish to pawn it off on your plumber. Suck it up,chalk it up to experience...the brainfart is noone's fault but your's.

A 14" Swift is just about as stupid as it gets.............

Class act, I ain't blaming chit on the plumber and I guess throwing rifles in the rocks And taping eyes makes u a [bleep] Einstein! I guarantee the twist was discussed long before the plumber put it together, guess we should have had u in the call as well. LMMFAO !!!!!!!

Few would brag that they gave a 14" Swift's fruition a "long discussion",prior to botching things so badly.

Undoubtedly,that call would have been money well spent...............

Karl and I will be sure and call u on the next one . Really?

Should have called on the first one. Takes some real doing to screw a chambering up that bad and to have the Swift hosed inside 300yds,is a rather glaring display of stupidity.

Congratulations?..................

The first one was the 300 guess we [bleep] that up too.

This reminds me of talking with my brother in law. He's not a shooter, but he is a jerk. Anyone here live just outside of Jackson, Tenn.?
Just so you know, I've used Swifts since the mid 60's. For groundhogs. None of them were custom rifles though. Be sure and use Winchester brass though. Other brands never seem to do as well or last. As for powders, 4064 is hard to beat. Ackley had 4064 didn't he?

Thanks

People used to drive around in Model T's as well ... and they worked fine.

However, you'd be hard pressed to find someone choose to purchase a Model T today instead of a modern vehicle if they were equally priced and both readily available ...

Still a great rifle BMD

BMD, dont forget to throw this up on blueprints. Kinda wish more would do the same.

R/P,Re-15,75's and 9".

That's a blueprint.................

Yeah I really want to throw those at pd's and yotes u gotta have last word ever time just like my buddy that is 5' nuthin just bred in you lmfao!

I disagree with this, I have had the best luck with Norma brass by far in my swift's.

One thing this thread does, in a peculiar way, is ask a question I have for the heavy bullet .22 guys.... Why ask a cartridge to do something it wasn't designed to do, when you have another cartridge which will do a better job?
The reason I was able to buy a pre '64 M70 Swift for $68 was that everyone had gone to the .243. (yes, that's what these were selling for in the mid 60's) For long shots in the wind, .22 can't do the job of 6mm and .25 cal. varment rifles.
Same for deer. Once in a while, I think about using a Swift deer hunting. Lots of deer are killed here every year with .223 using what's on sale at Wal Mart.
I always end up taking a rifle better suited to the game.
Since most of the guys in this post have rooms full of rifles in every kind of cal., why take a marginal cartridge hunting when you have a better one sitting in the rack?
If the answer is... I just wanted to, no problem. I do stuff like that all the time! But I wouldn't argue a .22 was better at long range than a larger cal.

Bill,

Its a stunt using a cartridge on what its not best for. At least the guys using silly heavy bullets in tiny small bores have a bullet that will penetrate some.

Plenty of even worse stunts have happened in the past.

"Use Enough Gun"

I agree that it will work. Just say'in there are better ways to go.
These's a thread somewhere else here (interesting one) where guys are arguing about .280 and -06 at loooong range. Both great rounds, not much difference.
Now, get in there and tell them about heavy .22s and all.
If you only had one rifle...different story. Hell there are guys here who probably have a package according to the temp and altitude! Interesting stuff. I'm amazed at what you can do if you try.
