I recently bought a Terminus Zeus mostly for the QC barrel switch option, two set screws, no vise needed, just loosen the screws and remove by hand (maybe a strap wrench if it gets a little tight). Current set up is in 6mm CM but pondering future barrel options. One choice could be 6.5 PRC with a new bolt and magazine or the other direction, .223 with new bolt and magazine. I already own rifles chambered in 270 W, 7mm RM, 30-06, 308, 6.5 CM and 7 PRC. What would you do specific to barrels and chamberings this rig? ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/t9M5jUx.jpg)

I'd probably go WSM but only because I already have one. Maybe a .308 Win or .22 Creedmoor if I didn't want to buy a new bolt head right away.

I like the short mags but have a 7 PRC if I need to up the horse power. Have a 308 in a similar rig now but would be nice to have if I were traveling to hunt.

If you are serious,the Vudoo will QUICKLY teach you more,than all the others combined and then some. Hint.

.358 Winchester and a 6.5 CM
kwg Well, I have a 6.5 CM on another rig, had a 350 RM, don't really care for the 35s although a 358 W would be an easy fit.

Would prefer 22 CM - note, had a nice 22-250 on a Win 70, great cartridge but prefer the same in CM

I don't doubt that but nothing bores me faster than a .22 RF - note, I do have a decent little 10-22 with Timney fire control but optics are lacking.

You have never shot a Skookum 22LR,at any distance,yet alone Long Range. I get it,as VERY fhuqking few have or will. Hint.

Everyone wants to purchase proficiency,which ain't how skill development works(or close). Hint.

Spend your cash becoming a better marksman. The 22lr is a great idea.

Sounds like you’re pretty well Covered.
22 creed would be the way over 223.
Maybe the 7 fury or 7 back country to keep the barrel short for the can.
Good luck
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

.223, high volume practice/varmint option.
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN
