I remember over 20 years ago Kifaru sold these very lightweight packing rifles with interchangeable calibers. Short and long action. The short action was .308 based so you could get the full range of .243, .260 Rem, 7-08, .308, 338 federal and .358 Win. Similarly, in the long action you could get .25-06, .270, .284, 30-06 and a few other long action calibers.
They were my grail rifles before I got into ARs.
Whatever happened to them ?
Here's a post over 6 years old on the forum that announces new rifles.

Their FB page is down.
Rumors I've heard is the actual rifle maker split with Kifaru and went to (or was already in) Alaska to set up shop there.
Apparently there was some legal blowout.
In any case those rifles were very interesting and are still on my grail list. Would love a set with 3 or more interchangeable bbls.
There were aggressively light weight. Note the extremely small 'foregrip' ... kind of like arms on a T-Rex ...
