in regards to switch barrel setups.

experience shows that cartridges are vastly more alike (with good bullets and brass) then they are different. if you are really sweating barrel life, run blue dot or imr 4198 loads

so switching calibers for the most part is mental masturbation.

secondly: used tikkas are cheap. it's pretty ez nowadays to find a complete gun cheaper then what even a preferred barrel blank costs.

i ran a switch barrel wrench flats setup on a tikka. it's fine. but even getting free barrels it's hardly worth the effort. i still run flats to make it easier for the initial install.


Ran across a post on different forum of a guy running a multiple barrel setup in a tikka. He was having flats milled at the muzzle end of the barrel and just torquing them on and off as needed. Anybody here tried that method? Seems like an decent idea to have multiple chamberings out of one optic/stock setup.
