A good one for the auction side anyway, I don't care for synthetic stocks. Ruger M77 Mark II in 220 Swift with zytel skeleton stock. From what I have read, not many were offered in the Swift.

Nice, you will be surprised at what it will bring. Please post the link when you put it up....
Suprised ain't the word.
Had no clue a boat paddle would bring what they do.
220 Swift is a great cartridge. How long is the barrel?
22"
That is kind of short to get all out of a 220 swift but it is still a great cartridge, are you going to keep it? It is kind of homely. I have never seen the allure of the zytel stock.
No. I'm not going to keep it, I don't care for synthetic stocks at all.
Those things bring a crazy price for some reason, you will do well I am sure.
After what my 220 Swift mark II brought I almost felt guilty but it started st a buck. You will do insanely well 😇
When those were being sold I neither particularly liked them or disliked them, I just thought of them as practical.
I think it would be more practical if it was stainless.
Zytel is lighter! Don
Yep, My tikka is synthetic and stainless. That's what I wanted though because, as stated, it's practical.
Okay, the real question.
What did you trade for it?
Ken, a Henry Golden Boy in 45-70 that I was into for $780.
I think those boat paddle stock Rugers have almost a cult following.
They must because they are butt ugly. I think that was a good trade. The Henry Big Boy is even more fugly.
They could be a pain in the rear if you didn't sleeve those panel screws on the forend. If over tightened, it would change the pressure on the barrel and the point of impact.
The rounded edge on the recoil pad equals miserable recoil. Wouldn't notice it in 220 SW but my daughter's 270w kicks like a 300w or more.
