[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 769826, member: 307"] If pushed to buy either, I'd go with the .220 Swift.. Few reason's here, (1) I'm not a Mauser fan (2) not a ER Shaw barrel fan (3) no way to quantify actual rounds through barrel. (4) Remington 700 is brand new (5) it's a great deal (6) you should be able to get your money back, plus some, if you decide to sell it later on. With all that said, I own a 6.5-284 and love it but IMO it shines with heavy bullets (120-142gn) which have high BC's for shooting 500yds and beyond. Great for bigger game. Just an FYI, today at lunch in a local gunshop I found two Remington 700's SF, one a Sendero in .300 RUM, the other a VS in .223. Price tag's were $1175.00 and $1149.00, respectively. That Swift is a great deal! JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
