Watch GunBroker (religiously) - I have seen two in the last 4 months.
700 VSSF-II's are the pick of Remington's litter, and you don't see many show up.
Give this guy a shout. As of 12-06-2012 he had a VSSF 220 Swift for sale and I believe he is located in SD.
I also ran across a left handed barreled action in 220 Swift. The add said it had a new unfired barrel but no stock. Kinda weird I know but if you want the link to the add I'll be glad to give it to you.
Good luck. Those are getting very rare. Hope Remington brings them back in the 220 at some point.
I ran across a used one in local pawn shop recently and they wanted darn near the price of the gun when it was new. It was a little rough too! Wouldn't budge much on price either.

Ha... the 22-250 is for GIRLS
The girls in my family would agree. But then you haven't seen em shoot.
You have no idea the hunting opportunities my older sister can provide...most only dream of.
Remington discontinued short action VSSF/II in all cals. still make long action VSSF (sendero). They they list VSF in 220. Only difference is the stock and Highlighted flutes. I suspect these vsf's are just a clean up run of the barrels with cheap sps stocks. I also suspect Rem. will discontinue these as well. Remington is getting away from stainless fluted small cals as fast as they can. You had better buy soon
You could try to pick your self up a different heavy barrel Remmy in the swift then look for the palm swell stock. Some people don't like them and get rid of them or trade the for a regular HS. Just an idea if you can't find the vssf2.... Jason

The VSF reminds me of the original VSSF, matte finish. Somebody could buy a HS Sendero stock and have a VSSF 1st Gen clone.
