Thread: Modular rifle build

If your looking blued and walnut with out excessive cost and switch barrel look at the Shultz and Larsen. Probably exactly what your looking for. There was one with a thumb hole stock on trademe.

I did look at S & L but for me the cost/benefit wasn't there (again locked into their Proprietary barrels).

At this stage I'm thinking the first iteration will be 6mm Creedmore in either a Remmy Clone action or maybe a Tikka (even Beretta might start to like me if I cut up an old one to enable them to make the sale of a new one)

I have a Bighorn TL3 action set up as a switch barrel system. Currently have a 6mm Creedmoor and 20 Tactical barrel for it (along with the boltheads) and am thinking about doing a 22BR and a 6.5 PRC or SAUM. Mine is in a chassis (MDT ACC) but I'm thinking about getting a lighter stock for it for when I want to cover a bit more ground walking. Otherwise the chassis system is great I reckon. I also have a KRG chassis (now on my 22LR trainer) which has a polymer skin over the alloy so solves the cold issue.

I'm not sure if a BDL setup would be very successful with differing case sizes/shapes? I'm using AICS mags in mine and would probably get some APA bottom metal and a Curtis mag for a lighter set up and/or swap out my 10 shot mags for 5 shot with a lighter stock.

Between my current barrels there's less than 1 click of elevation and windage at a 100m zero. I have an action wrench and barrel vice and it's quick and easy to change barrels. I can see it being a bit of a hassle if you have to visit a range to verify zero though, I have a 100m target set up permanently at home so no problems there.

Happy for you to have a play with it Foster if you are up my way some stage.

Thanks for that most useful reply Sam, appreciated. I might be getting up your way later in the week (otherwise in a fortnight) so will take you up on that offer at some stage when it suits you.

For the ultimate in barrel swapping... It uses a case to tighten or loosen the barrel nut... Watch at the 1 minute mark.

@Tentman I have a 100 6.5 creedmoor brass at Brians if you want it.

Nice - I will be undertaking a comprehensive inventory of all your stuff !!!! (for future reference haha)
