The 220-swift was chambered in stainless-steel barrells to stop the problems with erosion in the throat of the barrell. Winchester developed a method of blueing stainless steel barrells so people would buy them as most people wanted blue barrells then. These days people want the stainless barrell bright so they can show it off. The rifle Doc has down there has shot a few crows at 390+ yards.and I can not remember how many groundhogs.
