Do some more searching. There is not much difference.
Saying that I am a big 220 Swift fan, mostly because in my area there are WAY more 22-250s

haha, I think in every area there are way more .22-250s

The .220 is kinda a cool round to own......seems like its still around though, not dead......not sure if it will ever die, and maybe make a come back, who knows maybe in 50-100yrs theyll be talking about the .22-250 being around?

I said before weatherby should adopt the .220, they load the .22-250 currently, but I mean by loading their own ammo......load it and make it available.....weatherby ammo, .220 swift, then it may be on more shelves across the nation.....

But really do you ever run out of ammo and are in a jam to find/locate it? I think most guys bring enough if not too much......

Great decision, IMO. I'm sure you'll like it. If you don't, let me know. One of my hunting buddies really likes mine and would probably be interested in it if you don't happen to like it.

Check on the gun auction sites. Seems I've seen a few .220s listed on them recently. Some of them NIB (or so they say).

Yea that ruger looks pretty nice. I like almost everything about it. I've had 2 rugers so far and im happy with all of them. I think i would replace the stock though.

RE: Good gun in 220 Swift
 

Replace the stock? seems to me that would be why you bought that ruger?

I've never been a ruger fan though, I just think replace the stock? why? at that point why not just get a custom or that remington? or some other .220....? ie spend extra money to replace a stock? why not spend another bit and get a custom......or jsut something extra nice.

Just my $.02 though.

I just dont like laminates too much. I have one on a ruger 10/22 and it started chipping off real easily.
