[QUOTE="Roe, post: 521222, member: 35054"] I was of the same mind as you before switching. I discovered that the system works and now like it a lot. Watch my videos, I usually shoot the Blaser 0,4-0,5'ish MOA to 700'ish yards without change in POI. I assemble the rifle and make a CBS headshot at 440 yds more or less every time. It shoots sub MOA to 1100 yards which is where I run out of clicks on the scope (regrettably I don't have a 20 MOA mount.) It will NOT (edit) measure up to a BR and it is more difficult to shoot well than a heavy LR rig. But my carbine will hit a deer at the ranges the bullet will kill it, it is very much a LR hunting rifle and I drop 40-50 deer with it every year. It will not quite measure up to a "solid" LR rig such as you describe, but it will do good enough. I think the shooter will be the limit before the rifle. You have to switch bolthead when going between calibre groups (small, medium, magnum). Clip off, clip on. You choose open sight/no sights and there is no price difference. The scope mounts on the barrel and the system gives same tension every time so going between barrels. The bolt locks in the barrel and the barrel locks to the recoil slots. This eliminates action/barrel tension as there is no traditional action, only the bolthead locking in the barrel. More and more aftermarket parts are available. Fortunately, better triggers can be had from Bix'n Andy now. I did not like the original trigger. Barrel blanks are not available, but it is easily done by a gunsmith - just re-thread your old barrel. [/QUOTE]
