[QUOTE="Rob01, post: 2466518, member: 2157"] Too many people get hung up on in the field barrel changes. It's one of those things that sounds cool but very rarely used. I know I don;t care about it because I go to the range to shoot the rifle that I bring with me but even if I did I would just bring the vise and C clamp it to the bench and I can easily change it at the range also. If he wanted to WTO the Origin would work perfectly as it has a pinned lug and would be an easy swap. The AICS mags work just fine going from .308 to .223 also. No issues feeding. MDT makes .223 mags that allow loading .223 to 2.550" also so no short .223 restrictions and you can load heavier long range bullets. I load 75 ELDs in mine to 2.470" and have shot them to over 1150 yards in matches and they work great. Have also shot standard length .223 factory ammo and all fed perfectly. The DTA is a real nice set up but with his price range it's way out of it as are AI and Barretts. That is why I mentioned the Origin at $875 and he can buy shouldered prefits as cheap as $500 and be in business. [/QUOTE]
