Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum
I did the same in the past, but it is not worth my effort anymore. I prefer dedicated rifles set-up as per intended purpose.
I think of them as dedicated platforms with different cartridge options.....this one I'm switching this morning is set up for open light NRL hunter with the 6.5cm barrel to make power factor but prefer the 22cm when i'll actually be hunting with it. I'm going to do some varmint and pig hunting tonight so i'm throwing on the 22cm barrel and will swap it back to 6.5cm before the first match in 2025. My other action with multiple barrels is set up mostly for my son and have a 223 barrel and 7.62x40 barrel for that one although I haven't used the 7.62x40 barrel in a while.
I have plenty of set-ups in varying cartridges/chamberings to not worry about switching barrels. Like I said, I used to do the same thing but not anymore.

The WTO switch lug is less than a hundred bucks but the smith needs it when headspacing the prefit ,then you are set for the next barrel cal of choice later down the line. Your initial cost shouldn't be over a hundred bucks or so unless it has changed dramatically over the last 4 years . Terminus , Curtis and several others have such tight tolerances action to action a good smith can do prefits knowing what action with the tolerances of the switch lug ,without you sending your action in . I tried it and it works .Looking around a bit the last few days I seen Terminus makes a quick change action that looks super slick for changing barrels, even bolts/bolt diameters. I think I'll check into that a bit more. Maybe on a chassis for ease of adjustment. Thanks for all the replies, too many options, never enough money
Good information! I have all of of those plus a few different torque wrenches
I use an MDT Oryx chassis which is fairly low budjet. It has its own buttstock with adjustable length and comb vs having an AR type buffer tube type stock configuration and I like it pretty well. It's nice not having to mess with bottom metal and being able to use AICS mags. I actually like the Magpul mag version as it's lighter. Of course I'm sure I'd like the higher end chassis versions also.Looking around a bit the last few days I seen Terminus makes a quick change action that looks super slick for changing barrels, even bolts/bolt diameters.
