GUNWERKS NEXUS BARREL SWAP - Easier Then You Think 

I completely agree. I use a Gunwerks scope coat actually full time. You can see it in some photos. I’m on the fence about whether to use both the scope coat and lens covers. Any suggestions?

If changing the barrel maybe use both to not scratch it by accident. In the field higher end scopes are pretty decent. I’ve broken a rifle stock almost in half with just lens covers, and no scope damage. Fell in a hole backpacking, and the rifle got thrown.

@nebraskaman8247 holy crap dude! That’s crazy! Yeah I want to baby this thing for sure

Yeah that happened like a month ago with my rifle. About a $1300-1400 mistake by the time I pay McMillan, and pay to have the stock pillar/glass bedded.

@nebraskaman8247 ugh that’s too bad sorry man!

Very cool!

I will say that this setup is heavier then a Clymr with Ti action by probably a pound. It’s 9.5 lbs with the 300 PRC barrel, but what you give up in lightness you certainly gain in flexibility and who wants only one caliber anyway! We always want different calibers for different things.

The versatility of rifles like this and even folding stock style rifles are going to to be the future of this sport. I think a lot of other major manufacturers will get on board with them. One rifle can fit so many niches that shooters are going to want that rather then having a safe full of different rifles. You should consider any of the action manufacturers that proof makes prefits for too. Any of those will allow you to switch barrels with just a barrel vice and the actions like Zermatt allow you to change the bolt head too. That’s why Proof made that rifle “The Switch”. It was a limited deal but super appealing for all the reason I mentioned above. Some other barrel manufacturers do prefits too. 700 style actions are very user friendly with multiple stock options, barrel lengths etc, but Savage and Tikka are putting out stuff now that the aftermarket has made really configurable and easy to change/modify. Anyway I could talk for hours about this LOL! Good luck you won’t be disappointed.

@@Wyoming_Wild I currently have several custom rifles from top builders built on actions Proof makes prefits for. I’ve thought about selling several of my rifles I don’t hunt with and going prefit route. I say this as I’m picking up a custom built 6 Creedmoor this week from my builder😂

@craiglovelace1753 LOL I’m jealous! Would you rather have more customs or several prefits? Just curious.

@@Wyoming_Wild honestly I don’t know. They say Variety is the spice of life…..they also say beware of the man with one rifle!! In all honesty, I’d say a prefit setup like yours is ideal for a serious hunter. One premium optic with CDS Turrets built for each premium barrel chambered in a modern cartridge.

Hmmm…I like that LOL! Who knows, variety is awesome too!

That’s a Wheeler brand torque wrench made specifically for firearms and the bits I use are the same brand as well that I only ever use for firearms. I have separate bits for wrenching in the garage. I hadn’t ever heard bad things about using the torque wrench that way, but I’m curious if it hurts the mechanics of them or throws off the calibration of them at all.

@@Wyoming_Wild I have the same one. Of course I never read the instructions and don’t know where they are but have been told several times not to use them for breaking screws loose. You might ask Wheeler.

@Charles_ONeal roger that good to know

I’ll show you in my upcoming videos. I don’t expect they are 1/2 MOA but I’m hopeful.
