[QUOTE="Kimber.204, post: 2479103, member: 102567"] I've been down the switch barrel road myself. It is certainly a great option for some folks. I used a Bighorn TL3. Fantastic action. But...what I ran into was that the barrel I wanted was not on the gun when I wanted it on...and I didn't have time to confirm zero prior to needing the rifle. I've come to terms with the fact that for my current situation, I prefer to have a rifle ready to go all the time. I'd rather have two value rifles like Ruger american's or Mossbergs that are ready to go, than have one custom that has the wrong barrel on the night before needing the other barrel. But, if you're going to twist on barrel on and leave it for a while....nothing wrong with switch barrels. No wrong answer here...buy/build what you want that meets your needs. You can kill game/paper punch/ring steel with cheapo's and bespoke rifles alike. The important part is you knowing how to use it!!!! [/QUOTE]
