The Swing rifle was a design developed by a number of target shooting enthusiasts
who came together in 1970 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.

Swenson and Ingram's aim was to develop a design that incorporated the best in
target rifle design but maintained adherence to the requirement of the British
National Rifle Association that rifles should be of a conventional design and safe
and be within the size and weight constraints imposed by competition rules.

These rifles were produced between 1972 to 1990.. This one is a 8 / 10 with only
very little cosmetic bumps to the wood - all metal is bright and as new..
