An idea, if you haven't already done this: ask MPA to add the West Texas Ordnance "switchlug" feature to your rifle (you can find threads at the hide where others have done this wiht MPA rifles, in fact I think somebody mentioend it in your thread you have over there). It doesn't cost that much to have them add it on, but is super convenient as you can change out barrels in a matter of a couple minutes and RTZ with just a hex wrench. Even if you don't get into swappable bolts/calibers, it's still worth having a switchlug so you can rebarrel without having to send rifle to a gunsmith, you can barrel swap at the range, whatever. You can run 2 or 3 calibers in the same family of cartridges (for instance you could have 6mm/6.5/.308 barrels, all would work with your AICS pattern mags). I have the switchlug on my Tikka and love it, just ordered a 6 CM barrel to go along with 6.5.
