[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 51973, member: 22"] Brent, The switch barrel competition rifle is my HG that we've talked about in the past with the 338 Yogi chamber and now a 6.5x55 Ackley barrel also. My original 338 barrel was a Lilja 1.850" dia x 32" and is now 30 1/4" after being setback and a slight taper put on it after 2.5yrs. Muzzle measures around 1.600" approx now. The 6.5 barrel is also a Lilja 30" 1.450" untapered. Both are screwed into a 2" x 10" BAT action. I think you've seen the pictures before on this site. The BAT action has 1 1/4 dia x 1 3/4" long tenon threads. If you would like another picture let me know. When the rifle was originally built, it was planned around the switch barrel concept. The scope comes off by loosening the 4 screws that clamp the rings onto the tapered dovetial base and it slides right off. It was setup so the rear scope ring would mount flush with the back of the dovetail base to be able to somewhat repeat my scope position. All of my rail plates on bottom have clearance holes so that an allen wrench will go up into the action guard screws and they will drop out without removing anything else from the rifle. Clamp the barreled action in a "c" block, insert the action wrench and snap it off. Screw on the new barrel and snap it tight and a little extra, insert the barreled action back into the stock, tighten 3 guard screws, slide scope/rings down the dovetail and clamp in place. Ready to go. As far as blocks. Most any of the known long range 'smiths have blocks premade or can make you one. Don't know of anyone close to you up there though. Know of some around me if your interested there. contact me if your interested. Hope this helps! Steve [/QUOTE]
