I know you don't want questions, so this is more of a suggestion regarding UM made Tikkas. Can you offer a switch lug type system like the WTO? Or if I have you build one, include that as an option? Being able to swap a barrel and bolt rather than buying two rifles would be sweet.

I'm pretty sure if you have any Tikka T3 or T3X action, all you need is a prefit chambered barrel with a bolt in a matching boltface for the cartridge the barrel is chambered in and you can shoot anything from 223 to 338WM with the same rifle using a barrel vise and an action wrench. Adding anything else in-line adds tolerance stacking and increases chances of diminishing accuracy.

In practice this statement doesnt hold up.
So says my personal 2 switch lugs and 9 barrels and another half dozen I know of personally.
