    Remington 700 Switch-barrel - Why wouldn't this work?

    Okay, but that author isn't exactly a yahoo. He's pretty experienced with the sport. This seems to be something that the benchrest crowd does fairly regularly. I'm not saying don't have it on there tight, the question is: how tight?

    Remington 700 Switch-barrel - Why wouldn't this work?

    Reading around, I've read that the Barrel doesn't have to be "that" tight to the receiver. Here is an article that got me thinking about it. The Switch Barrel Seems to show that all of those things aren't needed necessarily, and that it can be done with hand tools.

    My first Long Range match is coming up in March and I am starting to gather my gear. Do most prefer an Eberlestock (ex. X3 lo Drag) pack to carry their rifle, or do most prefer a good pack without a scabbard, and carrying their rifle slung on their shoulder?
