I've been looking for this rifle and if I find one, I'm wondering what it is worth. They seem to be pretty hard to find especially in 220 swift.
Thanks I didn't know where to post my question.

Sold mine in 220 Swift a couple months ago on Gunbroker for $795 with a cheap 6X-24X Tasco on it. Rifle had two small spots on barrel and couple small rubs on stock, otherwise in great shape. Hope this helps.

I am a huge fan of the Swift.
I am cautious when buying a used one. I rarely believe the sellers round count

My dad's got one just like that. Great gun I don't think he would sell his.

I have had a couple of them. Great guns. I have one with a stainless fluted barrel now.

Not exactly the same but here's one that's close that may interest you. Think the asking is on the high side.

Have you had much dealing on this site? Is it trustworthy? Armslist is a joke anymore! I'll be surfing it.

Yes but its all FTF for me. Still members have a rating if they've bought and sold much.

I'ld say, if you're patient, you should be able to find one somewhere between $650 and $750. That's what my recent research has shown. I've been looking for the same thing in 223. I have to get rid of my AR-15 as, when I shoot it, my desire to shoot many rounds far outweighs my common sense to preserve whatever money I may still have left.

I found one for $650 but didn't know if it was reasonable. Probably is, I'd like a better deal.

$650 is a helluva deal, especially if comes with H-S Precision VS stock...

Of course, might look at a custom or order a barrel. You'll have the time. Not gonna find one that cheap anywhere...

It's an HS vs stock

I'm with you. I would always like a better deal. If I could find one of those locally, bull barrel, HS stock, I would buy it any day of the week and twice on Sunday, even if I had to borrow the money.

Got it down to $575 but it's not FTF which I hate... The stock and the action are worth that. Decisions, decisions...

+1 $650 would be fair, give for take for round count. After shipping and transfer you're in the ball park.

Can vouch personally for Oregon John on the Northwest Firearms site---I have dealt with him and he's good. I got a really fine 204 VSSF2 from him recently. I think he still has the Swift--- maybe even a price drop.
