"Switch-barrel" bolt-actions: Clarification?

[eisenochs]

Hi guys,

I just need a little clarification on what constitutes a "switch-barrel bolt-action" rifle, mentioned in Master Yoda's original post in this section of the forum.

I know you guys have been doing Savage barrels. Does the Ruger M77 Hawkeye fit into your grand scheme as well? I'm asking because I currently have a .280 Remington that would be the envy of my fellow Pennsylvanian buck-hunters if I can get a heavy BHW barrel chambered in .280 Ackley Improved installed... ;D

It won't completely ruin my day if the answer is "no," but the quality of the 5.56 AR barrel you guys sent me really blew me away-- such a barrel would be absolutely SICK in a controlled-feed bolt-action!

The same system will work on any rifle that has a flat breech. That being said, I beleive Black Hole is only working on Savage barrels at this time. I have heard rumers that they will branch out into other rifle brands later.

So the answer to your question is probably, yes they will make them. Just not at this time.
