[QUOTE="holechit, post: 2466595, member: 122492"] I looked into the Blaser rifles, and that’s definitely on my bucket list. But at roughly $4-6k to start and $1200 per additional caliber, It’s not a cost effective solution for me. I’m trying to get away from buying a $1000 rifle, plus $2-300+ in mods, and then a $300-1000 scope every time I want to get another reasonable hunting rifle. I’m not really needing the ability of dead on repeatable zeros or field barrel changes. I’ve played with that stuff with my CZ457 and in two years, I’ve swapped barrels in the field once. It wouldn’t be any harder to swap out a shouldered barrel, but I just don’t see it being something I feel necessary. I hunt year around, typically 30-50 days out of the year. Those numbers are probably going to increase, as I’m waiting on my first versatile hunting dog to hit the ground. I typically go out and rezero/check my zero on my rifles every other trip out and I don’t mind doing so. I just need a versatile platform that will provide me a decent amount of flexibility to adapt to what I’m hunting that month, while saving me some cash. So if I am reading what you guys are saying right, as long as I buy AICS pattern bottom metal, I can use 223 or 308 aics mags interchangeably? [/QUOTE]
