There is the Savage and the Remage. There is no reason a standard barrel can't be cut for any bolt action rifle and they be interchanged, bench resters do that sometimes. The reason for the remage is that you don't need a machinist to set the barrel.

None of those barrels are you going to willy nilly change daily on a whim. Typically you would use an external action wrench requiring removal of scope and bases. You can use an internal wrench since you are not hogging it down.

So basically you would do something like change the rifle to 22-250 for woodchucks and then over to 308 for deer. In a country where you are restricted in how many guns you own and have to jump through hoop to get them that makes sense, but not here.

So all this does is allow you to change a rifle without a gunsmith.
