[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2468176, member: 94154"] Still in the process of completing one. Savage LH long action Separate bolts for Standard and Magnum bolt faces. i bought profiled blank barrels for different calibers, and had my gunsmith finish them, shouldered to my action / bolt face for the following: [LIST] [*]6mm Remington 40° Improved [*]6.5 Swede 40° Improved [*]284 Winchester [*]308 Win [*]338 Edge (waiting on barrel) [/LIST] Barrels with threading, chambering and muzzle threading are ~$500 apiece. Need a barrel clamp to swap the barrel, and use an action wrench. The torque to swap the barrel is 25-30 ft-lbs. I've standardized on a one piece rail so it's easy to mount different scopes. Finding the perfect stock has been the challenge given the different balance requirements due to the different barrel profiles. [/QUOTE]
