[QUOTE="kai, post: 1445738, member: 98994"] Thanks for all the comments so far... This will be my first switch barrel gun so it's good to hear your comments. My build will have an ARC Nucleus action and it will use their new Barloc barrel torquing device. I'm hoping that each individual barrel will maintain its own zero relative to the scope when removing it and reinstalling it to the action. Changing to a different barrel will most likely not match the scope's zero and will need a solution to re-zero the scope to the different barrels. My thoughts so far... [LIST] [*]Having multiple high end scopes for each barrel would be expensive and inconvenient.... not ideal. [*]Keeping a log (or label taped to the scope) can provide the adjustment data needed for each barrel, provided that the barrels go back to the same point of impact when they are reinstalled in the action. But there's always the chance that a mistake could be made when resetting the turrets' zero settings, and that could necessitate a re-zeroing of the scope by shooting the gun.... not ideal. [*]I'd like a better solution that allows the scope to be zeroed for each different barrel/cartridge without loosing the original zero setting.... I have an idea.... [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
