[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 563859, member: 2736"] There have been some interesting comments on this subject and some should be addressed so the original poster can weigh all of the pros and cons of such a build. First; A smith that tells you build two rifles because he can make more money does not have your best interest in mind , Most GOOD smiths will make recommendations based on the accuracy required and the total cost to the customer and then build what the customer wants. For all out accuracy it is best to assemble a rifle (No matter what brand and type) and work up loads, fine tune the bedding,trigger,loading process and all of the other things that go into a accurate rifle including shooter skill. Pre chambered barrels have allways been a sore subject with me because they are just a production barrel with a name and there is no guarantee of the quality of the workmanship. and it is just a mater of luck if you get a good one (Just like factory rifles). I also agree that if you build a switch barrel setup and find that the one rifle shoots really well it is a hard thing to unscrew the barrel and place another on in and risk never finding that accuracy again. It sounds attractive to have two or three rifles for the price of one, but in reality they are not that much if any cheaper in the long run, Just different. In my opinion. if a person needs a rifle for different uses he has two ways to go, build one that will fill both needs or build two different rifles that will fit the need better. There are many duel role rifle/cartrige combinations that will do this unless you want to hunt P-Dogs and Bear. Again, this is just for discussion and this is just my opinion based of my experance with both systems. In the end you should build what you want and live with the outcome, Good or Bad.
