Lots of talk on swapping barrels, and changing bolt heads.
But, can I swap the entire bolt between rifles (same action lengths)? If so, what about between an accutrigger and non-accutrigger models?

When I had Fred T&T my action (22-250---- short) , I had him supply me with a complete 223 bolt. when I swap barrels, I swap bolts for the appropriate calibers.
simple.
this is good, it gives me more flexibility
I have 2 guns, one original 30-06, and one original 7mm Rmag. The magnum has the accutrigger, but if I just have to trade bolts, I can put a standard chambering on that action too.
