[QUOTE="jda2631, post: 1446266, member: 23675"] I am doing the same idea, although over time I have convinced myself into believing that I need 4 action/stock/scope combos and lots of barrels/bolt heads. 1 long action hunting set up, lightweight more traditional style stock. 1 long action target set up, chassis and not too worried about weight. Then the exact same thing with short actions... I am going bighorn and shouldered barrels (since they all headspace the same, you can order shouldered barrels straight from PVA or another smith that has made one for a bighorn, without them ever needing the action). That way any barrel I have for a short action, will work for either short action "rifle", same with long action. I don't really think I'll ever want to change barrels out at the range, so shouldered barrels are fine and will change them out at home with a vise. But I have seen people just hand tighten barrels to actions before with no issue. Put stock between their knees and just hand tighten the barrel on and the rifle shot great. These were short action NON magnum cartridges though. 223, 6.5x47, etc. [/QUOTE]
