[QUOTE="1mechanic, post: 2764236, member: 116213"] I have several reasons I want to do switch barrel rifles. 1 I don’t have much space for storage or safes. 2 I blinded my right eye about 15 years ago and quit shooting and sold some guns at the time. About 5 years ago I thought I’m fairly ambidextrous and bought a cheap savage left hand rifle to see how things would go. Have no problems running a left hand bolt. 3 There aren’t a whole lot of left handed rifles out there at least not in the chambers I want. So I want to take 3 savage rifles, one with a .378 bolt face, one with a .473 bolt face and one with a .532 bolt face and put together whatever I want. I still have and want other rifles but to number four. 4 Just like another thread on here now I don’t have unlimited funds so changing a barrel but leaving the same scope on the rifle saves money on scopes and for that matter actions and stocks. And if I ever do manage to buy better actions I still think I would like to use the barrels I’ve got. 😉 [/QUOTE]
