PROOF RESEARCH SWITCH
$3,999
The problem with high-end rifles has always been that they come chambered for only one cartridge. Not any more. With the highly accurate Proof Switch, you can switch barrels and bolt faces—in a matter of minutes—and shoot multiple cartridges from the same rifle. You can have a dedicated sheep rifle, deer rifle, target rifle, and varmint rifle all in one. The number of cartridges you can shoot with it is limited only by your wallet. —Richard Mann
