Well I got my First Switch Lug system in a few weeks ago and was able to try it out and see how it performed.
First off I was able to mess with a couple of the SL systems a couple months back at World shoot and was Very impressed with there repeatability and ease and cost of swapping barrels. I was able to shoot a 6 Creedmoor at a 500 yard 1/2 size hog target and made a center shoulder hit, Took the barrel off and bolt out while they explained it all to me, Reinstall bolt/Barrel and shoot again and impact was maybe 4 inches right of my first impact. So I had to order one after that.
I ordered most of my parts and sent to them with a list of what I wanted with the exception of the .284 barrel which I brought from them. I went with a Bartlein on both barrels, Manners T4A Mini chassis, Curtis action and Calvin Elite Trigger.
First off I want to say out of the dozen or so Customs I have built the WTO guys were Great to work with as far as updates and photos along the way which only took them around 5 weeks. I had them chamber the barrels in 6.5x47 Lapua and there 7mm SAW Throated long for the 175 Berger Elite Hunter. I had them Custom mix the Cerakote to match lightest color on stock which ended up being 3 colors and looks Great . Now on to the barrel swapping this system seems to be working flawless as I have changed barrels a couple dozens times already just showing my shooting buddies how the system works and how repeatability it is , which seems to be 1/2 to 3/4 MOA . I Am staying in that range after taking barrel off and reinstalling it every time, the worst POI shift I have got was 1 inch at 100 yards and that was 3 barrel take offs and once removing the Suppressor. Which I think the suppressor caused the other 1/4 change.
There 7mm SAW caliber , I think 4-5 of us has already fell in Love with as it is a simple one pass though dies with Palma 308 brass and with the 175s and RL16 I am pushing them 5 shot average of 2836 already and barrel hasn't really steadied in yet, but we have stretched it out to 1000 yds making repeatable hits on 8 inch disc plate. So all in all I am Very HAPPY with this build and already trying to decide which Caliber barrel is next LOL
