Was at the range this week and guy next to me was shooting this:https://gununiversity.com/socom-new-sniper-rifle-barrett-mrad/
He worked for Barrett and was confirming loads prior to upcoming competition, and filled me in on how easy it is to switch barrels and bolt heads on this rifle. AS I recall, he had 6.5CM, 308 Win and 338LM barrels, all of which could be changed in 10 minutes or so. I asked about alignment with scope, and he stated it might take a click or two to get back to zero but changes in POI were minimal after adjusting for bullet drop.

He was shooting suppressed with bi-pod and squeeze bag, and while not quite making one hole groups at 100, it did shoot very well from what I could see with both factory and hand loads.
Anyway, just wanted to bring this to the attention of the group.
Happy shooting.
