[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 2974984, member: 25389"] Budget vs nostalgia vs unique? If budget isn’t an issue, go for it! However, if money matters, save some and store the old 98 away. I just completed a 6.5 Creedmoor project on a 98 and spent more money than I expected because I couldn’t stand to scrap the old action. I could have saved dollars by letting go of that emotion. There are some worthy 220 Swift rifles currently listed on Gunbroker. If your set on that cartridge, I bet you can save $$ by going that route. Some modern 22 caliber cartridges offer + 4000 fps velocity and a quality modern commercially produced rifle will be cheaper. Bullets tend to fail at 220 Swift velocity, so there is that to consider. I have a 22-250AI with a 1 in 14 twist. Developing a load was challenging. My next barrel will have a faster twist and my not be an AI. [/QUOTE]
