Action on Model 700 220 swift

[scott_r]

This will be way down the road for me but say you burn out a barrel on a 22- Swift. Can convert this to a 22-250, .243 or even a 6mm. I don't really know alot about actions and if they are built specific for this cartridge but would really like to know what my options would be? I will most likely stay with a swift but for curiosity sake I'd like to know.

Cheers!!

The 700 in the Swift is a regular .473" bolt-face short action, I had one in a Classic a few years back. It can be rebarreled without any action work to all that you mentioned and a few more, like 250 Savage, 257 Roberts,300 Savage, and all the others based on the 308 case, like 260, 7-08, 338 Fed and 358 Win.
