Yes, the barrels are made by Adams & Bennett. I don't know if I would go swapping them back and forth, but I guess you could if you wanted to. You would have to resight the rifle every time since the scope is on the receiver and not on the barrel like a TC. These are aftermarket barrels and are not made, nor offered by the Savage company. The idea behind these barrels is to be able to have a Savage in chamberings not normally available such as 257 Roberts, 358 Win, 6.5X55mm, 280 Rem, etc. There should be a flood of cheap used Savages hitting the pawn shops right after hunting season and before tax time. That opens up some possbilites.
