Simson Mauser custom varmint/benchrest .220 Swift rifle. Custom built though I don’t know who did the work. There is a stamp on top of the barrel (pictured). Beautiful blue finish, full length bedded in custom stock. I’ve tried to picture everything of interest. It’s in really nice shape but does have some nicks and dings gained over the years.

The barrel is a full 1.24” without taper. I don’t know the twist rate. Bore is perfect by eye. I’ve only put maybe 20rnds through it (thanks, @sirhrmechanic ) and it shoots like a good gun should. Fired a few groups, nuked a pigeon (sorry, @Bender ) and never messed with it again.

Standard military style trigger. Scope blocks. About 13.5lbs according to bathroom scale.

Asking $1500. If you’re interested, talk to me…

Sharp little rifle. I’ve got a book from the 40s that talks about the various 22 calibers. I’ll dig into it and see if that proof mark shows up.

Free bump for a cool rifle. If it was a 22 hornet, I’d be all over it.
