[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1398120, member: 12995"] If you're talking about using that new weird switch-lug thing, I'm not really a fan of how that works. I know it sticks up above the action and you have to have your pic rail milled-off so it doesn't hit. And you have an allen-head machine screw to tighten up to keep the barrel from rotating. Seems counter-productive. Might as well just build a rifle with a Rem-Age setup. I thought you were referring to a real switch-barrel rifle, like they've used in BR comps and varmint shoots for decades... Which is drilling and pinning the recoil lug and action to each other so they don't move, and there is no downward torque pressure on the barrel threads themselves (from the action being torqued into the stock) when you remove the barrel, the action, lug, scope, and everything stays in place, and stays attached to the stock, the only thing that gets unscrewed and swapped is the barrel. For this, you will need an action wrench, a barrel vise, and a torque wrench (or witness marks on both lug & barrel). I prefer this method for many reasons, namely it seems more secure and less things to go wrong or come loose at a critical point. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
