Ok if you switch barrels and calibers using a torque wrench do maintain your zero? Or  you do u have to rezero with every barrel swap? And how weather proof is stainless? Looking for one gun seven caliber battery

your zero will stay the same when you switch scoped barrels
stainless will rust just not as fast
you don't use a torque wrench to change barrels there is just a hinge pin you tap out
and two forend screws  it just takes a min it to switch them

What do you mean by "weather proof"?
 
No torque wrench needed, and yes stainless steel will rust.

While a torque wrench is not needed I use one on my Contender.  the same as most of the guys use one on the H&R rifles.  I think it is a good idea.  Keeps the fore arm on the barrel with the same pressure.
What 7 calibers are you thinking?

The point of impact might move a little but not much. The scope stays on the barrel.
