Changing out barrels is a great benefit on a truly modular outfit. I have a few barrels, about 2 minutes max on changing out and no sighting in required. Great travel outfit, and broke down fits in a short Pellican.

I know the price is higher than your average bear, but you don't have to do a thing to it. Not like buying a Remy and then having to do 1k worth of upgrades, and you still only got one barrel.

Here's a 300WM and a 243 that has done some traveling.

Do you have to stay with a short rounds for short action or can you change out to a long round.
I have seen the Thompson and they are long or short only.

No limit on calibers short or long with same action, but the bolthead is changed out for different size case heads. A standard bolt head would shoot your 243, 25-06, 6,5 270, 30-06, 9,3 etc size cases. For magnum caliber group have to switch out to a magnum bolthead.

Here's a caliber group overview: http://www.blaser.de/fileadmin/edito...ion_R93_EN.pdf

Wrenchman, Lever actions are rather rare, but I have seen a few on drive hunts. 9 out of 10 are 45-70, with the odd 307 Big Bore thrown in. On drive hunts 90%+ are bolt actions, with the remaining semi-autos or drillings.

The action is either feast or famine, and when a group of boar comes you only got a short time to make the most of it. My best effort was I shot 3 in about 5 seconds as they ran past, and that was with an R93 in 30-06 and a red dot sight where you can shoot both eyes open.

I keep waiting for the pig 'splosion to hit Michigan . . .
