Scope removal was what killed it.
That's the key point with most switch barrels,
say you're going pig hunting and decide you want to shoot the .308 barrel, you set it up, zero it. go out shoot some stuff with it. then you put it back in the safe.
a week later you are going to a mates place to clean up some foxes and want to shoot the .243 barrel, guess what you have to go to the range and zero it, or at least check it then you can go shoot stuff again,
it happens again and again and you never seem to have the right set up ready to go when you want to use it
now if you can afford a genuine switch barrel/multiple scope set up you won't have any of these issues but try and do it half a**ed and it'll be no end of frustration.
I have one action with three barrels, two scopes and two stocks. I have another action with two barrels, one stock and one scope but still can't ever seem to have the gun i want when i want it.
I also have a .308, one barrel, one scope, one stock. open the safe, grab the gun, grab a box of ammo and go shoot and i know exactly where it will hit first shot
