I don't know I'm planning on getting the ar platform too, but I was thinking of getting a bolt action so all I had to do to use a couple different calibers in the same rifle is change the barrel. So I was thinking of starting with a rem 700 in .308 and then have a couple different barrels for calibers like the 6.5X47 lapua and the 6.5 creedmoor. Also what other calibers have the same size case head as the .308.
Savage 10 beats Remington 700 in barrel changes hands down. Neither one will be a change you want to do often though, it's going to require proper headspacing everytime you loosen the barrel nut. If you want a changeable platform, I'd go with an AR.
So then if I got an ar wouldn't I have toworry about headspacing too. Is headspacing not taken care of in the chamber?
