If you are close to the poverty line, I suppose this is a good idea. With how inexpensive Tikkas are, I just opt to have multiple rifles for quick and easy cartridge changes.
West Texas ordinance does a switch barrel system and can do it for tikka. You have to send in your action though. I haven't done it just know a guy that did. Seemed kind of expensive not really sure what the point is I'd rather just have two riflesDoes anyone use a Tikka setup with multiple barrels? Is this common?
I know the factory barrels are tough to remove but once that's done, it seems like a simple swap. I have a Tikka in 6 creed and a new to me 308 barrel that I'd like to start shooting/loading for.
Unthreaded Tikka are pretty cheap right now if i was to buy for a donor action, but when you add a stock and optics and it gets expensive. I'd rather just swap barrels back and forth as the mood strikes, are there any pitfalls to this I'm not considering?
Edit to add: I'm thinking I'd switch a few times a year, at most.
I suppose if you have a $1,000+ scope, $100 rings, $500+ action, and aftermarket $600+ stock all adding up I can see where OP is going.If you are close to the poverty line, I suppose this is a good idea.
