[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 353223, member: 1007"] My 338 Edge is set up as a switch barrel gun. I have 2 barrels. 300 RUM and 338 Edge. There is no nut. This is on a 700 action. The key to getting a good set up is to have the recoil lug pinned to the action so that the lug ALWAYS goes back on the exact same way it came off for a perfect fit in the bedded stock. That is about all you need to do. Or use an action where the action and recoil lug are one peice. Screwing the barrel on is no problem but getting it off you will need a barrel vice and action wrench or take it to your smith twice a year. As far as using a 300 RUM and a 25-06, you will need another bolt for that altogether. Also it will become a single shot for the 25-06 as the rails at the bottom of the action are set up for an RUM case and feeding smaller cases will be problematic. A more simple and cheaper solution is to have a barrel for the 6.5 or 7mm WSM or RSAUM. This would allow you to use the same bolt as the RUM. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
