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.[1] 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’[2] and be within the size and weight constraints imposed by competition rules.
