[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 515243, member: 2261"] I have two of them. Both are actually swap barrel, swap bolt rifles. One is a Sugreon SA. Has two bolts, one is for .308 boltface (used to be a .260 - but have not decided ites 6mm replacemetn as yet), the other bolt and barrel is for magnum, my 7WSM; the other rifle is a Barnard Sigle shot that I use for F-Class; I have one bolt, barrel combo that is .284 Winchester and the other is my 7WSM. I have indexing marks on the barrels that line up with a tiny mark on the actions, so I know I can get the head spacing right. other then that having a good rear-entry double handle action wrench that fully engages the lug recess makes it a breeze and a decent barrel vice. On my Barnard rig, I have it down to a science, and can swap that one without thought or problems (a little copper-based antiseize makes it all possible); I am doing some protptyping for a bullet developer and swap the super tight twist on there long enought to test and then take it right off so I can run the Berger 180s and Cuaterucio 189s. Happy to answer any question that you might have. JeffVN [/QUOTE]
