[QUOTE="jamiebolseth, post: 1558618, member: 88495"] I don't have a ton of experience with this, but decided to get into a switch barrel setup 8 months ago. I'm using shouldered barrels on a Deviant action (no locking nut or locking device) that I secure in a barrel vice and torque to 50 ft/lbs. I don't have perfect data on the amount of shift with the same barrel because when I've switched I always went to a different barrel and had to re-sight in. But I would say I'm seeing 1-2 MOA shift from a particular barrel to the same barrel being remounted. Another note about my setup is that I need to unmount the scope from the pic rail to get the barrel vice on, so some of my POI shift could actually be zero shift from removing and remounting the scope. The one thing I will say with my setup is that I have had to re-sight in EVERY time I've done a switch. It's not repeatable enough that I would be comfortable just using data from a previous zero without shooting it to verify zero. [/QUOTE]
