Sako TRG 22 Bolt in TRG 42?

[Numn]

I apologize in advance if this has already been covered. Seems that I've read about this in the past but have searched and can't find a definitive answer.

I currently own a TRG42 and there are times that the .338LM is a 'little' overkill for the situation. I like the TRG42 enough that I have considered a TRG22; however, I'm wondering if it makes sense to have a 'switch-barrel' TRG so I can use .308 or maybe even .243, from the same base platform, when applicable to the situation.

Is it possible and if so what components are required? Does it make sense or is it a bad idea to swap barrels a few times a year and at the cost of Sako components is it less expensive to just buy a TRG22?

Thanks in advance.

Short answer is that you should not be able to use the 22 bolt in the 42. I am almost positive it is shorter in length.

On a related question, could the 300 wm bolt be used as is or modified to use with a 308 round? That would just require a barrel, bolt, and then some way to make the mags work.

you cant switch bolts. All the componets you need can be had by buying a TRG 22.
