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.

They torque their barrels to 100ft lbs. I don’t see them making anything that is held by hand tight and a set screw.

Once your original barrel is off it takes minimal tools to swap barrels.

In the Aaron Davidson episode Aaron says that people with adjustable cheek rests are usually doing something wrong with their shooting technique/form/position but he didn’t explain the error other than indexing on the cheek rest for alignment. Is he just concerned about too much cheek pressure? What is proper indexing?

Can anyone elaborate and explain what right looks like with respect to technique that he was alluding to?
