Ruger 220 Swift... what's your take?
I owned 3 M 77 Swift's yrs ago. Mine shot great--actually better than that.



How is the present day 77 in Swift doing? Anyone have any idea what kind of throat is being cut in them? Ruger throats in all calibers seem to vary a great deal.



Anyone else make the Swift for less than a trunk-load of bucks?



Thanks

Three of us just in the last year bought M 77 varmint rifles. a 22-250, a 223 and a 243 all are ok but haven't found a great load for either one yet. The 223 gets 1/2" groups every now and again with factory ammo and once in awhile with a reload receipe.
; but not often enough. No 220 Swift but maybe an indicator. Roger
