Pete K.,

I have no problem getting 220 Swift barrels for my Savages from Shilen, Pac-Nor, Northlander, Shaw, and others.

However, do not know of anyone who keeps 220 Swift barrels in stock. Each is special order.

If you order barrels for delivery each month and don't specifiy caliber, twist, length, contour, etc at the time of order... They will call you right before shipping and ask what that shipment was supposed to be. Then you can specify the 220 Swift and have short queue times.


As to someone keeping the 220 Swift in stock, think that would be great.

The most general purpose 220 Swift would have 26-inch long stainless match barrel with factory varmint contour and a 12-inch twist to take care of the Hornady VMAX bullets which are so popular these days. Would have the small barrel shank.

Wish you the best in your endeavors.

Thank you for your answers. There is already an adequate supply of .220 Swift barrels available from several barrel makers on a special order basis.

Mr. Hammer I appreciate your straight forward reply...
