[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 472521, member: 12863"] It is a well known fact that anything having to do with an XP cost hundreds of dollars to thousands of dolars to change or do whatever. A Savage Striker costs me 0-$45. to switch barrels (cost of barrels) with chamberings in the same cartridge base. A few more bucks to change boltheads. Changing boltheads on a Savage one can go from a 204 Ruger to a 460 Weatherby and requires a firing pin change as well but nothing on a Savage requires special tools or machining or more than $100. I have hunted with the break opens since 1971 and know them inside out. Barrel changing is nice but they have gotten expensive. Scoping all interchangable barrels is very expensive at worst. However if you are changing barrels and scope that becomes time consuming as well. The Striker is the most inexpensive system out there in every way conceivable including the scope. I now change barrels on all of my Strikers without removing the action from the stock or taking the scope off. I do not own a factory takeoff barrel that won't shoot 1/2" or better in 3 shot groups!
