My buddy is a VERY excellent long range shooter and a President's 100 shooter.
He's had two precision rifles built that can have the barrels switched on the range.
Each part is built by different builders; One man built the aluminum steel insert receivers and bolts, another the barrels, another to stock them, and another to nitride the barrels.
He mounts his own scopes.
The first is a total custom setup with custom receiver, stock, barrels, bolts, semi-custom Schmidt & Bender scope and titanium silencer.
Total cost: About $15,000 BEFORE he started buying the extra bolt and extra barrels.
He has the one receiver with two bolts; one for 6mmBR and .308 and one bolt for .223.
He has custom barrels in .223, .308, 6mm and last I heard one other caliber.
To change the barrel he has a barrel vise he can mount on his truck's trailer hitch and a action wrench made for him by the receiver maker.
He can pop one barrel off, and tighten another on using a small torque wrench.
He says he's usually only off target by less then 1/2 inch at 100 yards.
He says he doesn't have to torque the barrels that tight.
Granted all this is very high end equipment built by the best makers in America, and who are talking to each other about how the barrels, receivers, and bolts are going to fit with each other.
