I just recently read an article in a magazine about change barrel bolt action rifles and it got me to thinking... I have a 98 Mauser rifle in .30-06 which, thanks to the guys here, I have recently got back to shooting order. I have always wanted a .243. Is there a way that I could make this a change barrel rifle. For example. Put a mark on the receiver and the barrel for my .30-06 barrel so I know where it is headspaced. Then take the .243 barrel to a gunsmith for installation and then make matching marks on the barrel and receiver for that combition? The idea is that I would have one receiver for two barrels that I could change rather quickly. I know it is common to change barrels, and the article explains how many have done this with custom rifles, I'm just wandering if this application would work for me and my rifle. Thanks for any and all information.
