If the German wasn’t busy being so fat and so German he would be having a soft taco level tantrum right now.
That's a "choice" and an "expense" ... not a "requirement". I have the ability, resources, and desire to do that ... it's definitely not necessary to shoot an MRAD with more than one barrel. You seem mildly obsessed with my use of multiple scopes on my MRAD. Are you too poor to do that, or just fundamentally against the practice for some material reason? Were you maybe abused by a scope earlier in your life?

Different zero ... I'm lazy, I like not having to re-zero every time I change barrels.
We had a Corgi named "Scooter" ... he was an awesome dog.I just think it's an absolute riot scooter
You're easily entertained ... I like that. I've got some "Dad-Jokes" I'll send in a PM. LOLI just think it's an absolute riot scooter
Icic, so it's a choice. Is everything actually repeatable enough that you can do that? I'd have thought you'd still have enough shift after swapping everything you'd have to adjust zero anyway? (even just slightly)
I've taken my badger mount on and off at 600 yards on shot marker and saw virtually zero shift. Just make sure to place it back in the same spot and give it a little rearward bump from the should pad before torquing all the way (same for the barrel into a stock to set the lug well).
When I change barrel and scope, I'm rarely more than about 1/2 MOA from center bullseye. When using the same scope, the POI shift is always much more than that. Could I use the same scope, log my POI shift, and adjust to it? Absolutely. But I have the spare scopes on hand to not have to deal with that. I like locking in the zero on my Leupold MK5-HD's (I have six of them), and just leaving zero alone. That's why I do this. It's actually allowed me to change barrels mid-match, and hit 1,000 yard targets on the first shot after a barrel change. Are their other ways to do that? Absolutely. I just choose the easier way. BTW ... having high quality QR mounts is a must for this to work. Mine are all from ADM, and their ability to go on and off and on again while preserving zero, is excellent.
That's interesting. I have the MDT and ARC one piece mounts and I always seem to have some sort of shift when I take off and re install.
Are those "quick release" mounts, or do you have to unscrew to remove the mount?
Ya I always do the bump. I have mine set so the back cross bolt is in the last slot.
I also struggled with zero when I had screw-on mounts. Then on a buddy's recommendation, I tried the ADM QR mounts and they were awesome. Three rules (1) always use the same slot on the pic-rail, (2) always push the scope forward tightly in the rail before closing the QR lever, and (3) make sure the levers are nice and snug ... almost "difficult" to close.
Excellent summary. I'd add that I wish I'd bought my MRAD "first". If I had, I probably would have saved a lot of money on rifles that I wouldn't have bought, and simply invested in MRAD barrel kits instead.
100%
That chassis looks like the competition chassis, but you can get the lite strike, dual strike, or field tactical which all have the top rail included. Very minimal difference otherwise between their chassis except for a few options here or there.
I re-cant my statement. I must have also been playing with something else when I re mounted my scope last time. I went out with both scopes and mounts. zero'd them both and then swapped back and forth and they both seemed to retain zero very well
