Swift, I have one in the vault. I love the Swift, and as a result, protect it more than I should. It is a Rem 700 Classic with a Leupold 12X on top. The gun shoots really fine. The .22-250 Rem I had along for the trip is also a Rem 700 Classic. Even though it also shoots very well, it is scheduled for a new barrel to make it into a quasi Remington Varmint Special. A new Shilen #5 hand lapped barrel chambered in .22-250 AI will really make it a close equal to the Swift. I have another .22-250 in a Ruger No.-1B and I just don't like having two rifles in the same caliber because I have to keep the brass separate since I like to neck size. I feel I get better accuracy if I neck size. Another reason to AI the chamber is so I don't have to trim as often. The standard does stretch.
But, all that said, yes the Swift is still king (but those little 20s aren't far behind).
