absolutely nothing, just want to try something different and possibly streamline double head weekends when ive got a centerfire one day and rimfire the next at the same venue with one rig instead of two. Now that I’m typing this out I’m starting to see that might be a pain if I’m switching barrels back and forth to have to rezero before the match.
Very true, it’s a rabbit hole that’s got no real bottom.
The more I think about it the less fun that seems, and I’d probably still bring a backup in case the switch barrel doesn’t want to play nice. So I’d still have two rifles defeating the whole purpose of the switch barrel rig.
QC actions are bullshit. Curtis are also shit tier actions compared to the good stuff.
I’ve got 308, 6creed, 6Dasher, 223 currently and ordering either a 6 or 6.5SAUM for the TL3 and I’ve got a “spare” origin just sitting on my reloading shelf with one of the hunts lugs to accept Tl3 barrels.
terminusactions.com Since the QC centerfire/rimfire idea has been squashed, l’d definitely look into the stuff from Joel. He’s actually somewhat local to where I am, so maybe I’ll see if I can catch him at a match in the spring to talk.I'd go with Terminus instead- Joel Russo designed the first Curtis actions when he was a partner? there, but left because he didn't want to compromise on the product?

He's very easy to talk to and often answers the phone himself.
He was one of the sponsors for the New England PRS series and I think put up a few certificates for either free or heavy discount on actions. So maybe I’ll give him a shout and see if he’s going to be at any of the “local” pro matches for 2024 and see if I can play with an action.
All my stocks are setup for straight 1.30” barrels, and I’ve got all the stuff needed to switch out barrels just not at the range or trunk of my vehicle. I mean I could fabricate some thing to mount my barrel vice to a trailer hitch but that’s a mild pain
Sure thing, it just opens up a lot more options if you aren't worried about needing a QC action and barrels with the QC engagement feature engaged in them, or barrels that're just secured with a set screw pinching them.
The QC is a handy feature but not having it isn’t a deal breaker for me.
Fun Fact. The dude who designed the Curtis actions, left to form Terminus. Joel.
Having some time with the CDG and some friends who run them I think its the best action they have made. Not the same issues as with the Nuke and archemedies. They still aren't very popular up there, but this may be the best action ARC yet. They still have issues with their mags and scope mounts but thats another thread.
