Howdy! I've been searching far and wide for my next tactical rifle (comps) and I have considered the high-dollar custom Remmy models that guarantee .25 MOA. But, as reality set in, I realized that both of my Savages shoot .50 MOA and blueprinting would probably make them better. Besides, it'll be a whole lot cheaper. Not sure I'll get the .25 MOA, but don't think I want to pay all that money for another 1/4inch. Duh! Sometimes the answer is right under your nose. Anyway, here's a little history before I start my questions... I own the following:
-Model 10 PC, .308, trigger guard bolt release
-LRP, .260, side bolt release
-I shoot tactical comps from 600 - 1200yds
One of these will be going into an XLR chassis and configured in a switch barrel format. First question: What bolt release in Savage going to move forward with? The trigger guard release or the side release? I want the XLR to be able to take any Savage action I purchase in the future. Also, would one of those actions be beefier than the other?
Next, does anyone run a switch barrel and does it affect accuracy/precision?
How easy is the switch barrel change?
How is a switch-barrel different than a standard set up?
Do I need go,no-go guages?
Will blueprinting increase my accuracy potential?
You may ask, why the switch barrel? I just really like the concept. And, I shoot different matches and being able to chose the right calibre would go a long way into maximizing my scores. Plus, I can swap to a .223 for cheap training. Thoughts?
Oh, who should I consider to do this for me? (Gun Smith)
Thanks,
Ken
