I've been impressed with all of the great hardware I've seen you guys post up. Here's my favorite pill spitter...
I grew up thinning ground squirrel populations in central Montana as a kid and really enjoyed shooting the 220 Swift. Well, several years ago, a guy at work asked if I wanted to buy an old 700 ADL for $200. So I bought it anticipating that someday I'd build either a mountain rifle or a varminter out of it.
After a flip of the coin, I sent the action to the fine barrel makers at, Shilen. I let them know my application and that I wanted a heavy varminter and was looking at the long action Swift. They convinced me to go with the 28"(L), Chrome Molly, 1"(D), 1 in 14" twist barrel. They fit the barrel, did all trigger work (crisp 2lb.), as well as glass-beaded and matte-blued the bolt, action and barrel. I then mounted the barrel and action onto the Choate Ultimate Sniper stock - no floor plate. I chose Leupold bases and rings, and topped it off with a hard to find Tasco Custom Shop Mil-Dot scope in 10-50X56X30mm. Cost was $500 at the time. I had my reservations about going with Tasco, but have been very impressed with this scope.
This is a great shooting rifle and one that I am very happy with. Lot's of fun to shoot. Not as fun to carry over long distances, however.
