I bought a Super Grade 220 Swift last year and was pleased with the look and the accuracy of it. I wasn’t looking for one, but saw it and bought it.

Then I was surfing the guns on the internet and found this 22 Hornet, it was so nice I bought it too…

Nice! Which powder are you using; FFg or FFFg?

Do people shoot these with black powder or is Mike kidding?

I’m sorry, Chuck. I figured that was better than sharing my pet load of 73 grains of FFFFg. Wink And yes, I was kidding!

All kidding aside, Shrapnel, I’m wondering if you have a scope in mind for this special rifle.

Already got one. A Swarovski Z3 3-10X42 with BRX reticle. I got it out today and shot it.
