[QUOTE="remsendero, post: 1525024, member: 80088"] Great write up! I love hearing anything when it comes to the 220 swift. I'm 52 and a friend of mine turned me onto the swift back in 1997. As with most of today's hunters just starting out, I had never heard of it but since I was just getting into woodchuck hunting I was thrilled to find out I had just purchased the king of varminters. It was a lightly used model 700 Remington VS with a canjar set trigger. I had no idea how the trigger worked so my friend showed me how. I went on to take my furthest shot ever with this gun at a lazer ranged distance of 602 yards. I hit the chuck in the neck lying down on my first shot! My friend was blown away as he never thought the the gun or I was capable of such a feat. He took ownership of that rifle and I think it continues to be his favorite. As for me I still own two Swifts and they both shoot lights out, one with a stiff load of RL17 and the other with a stiff load of IMR4064. They are my favorite rifles and I don't think I'll ever part with either one. God bless and good hunting!!!! [/QUOTE]
