Swing rifle

The Swing rifle was a design developed by a number of target shooting enthusiasts who came together in 1971 at Bisley. The design's primary instigators were George Swenson and Laurie Ingram. At the time target rifle competition in the UK was dominated by designs based on military actions such as those of the Lee–Enfield and Mauser 1898. These designs were felt to have reached the limits of their development potential; especially when combined with commercially manufactured or hand-loaded ammunition. The basic design was: A single shot, bolt action, target rifle in 7.62×51mm calibre.
