[QUOTE="liltank, post: 676342, member: 13275"] You'll want an action wrench, barrel nut wrench, and a go-gauge in the 6.5 wsm caliber. Barrel swaps are supper easy. If it has the smooth nut, take it off with a pipe wrench and and order a slotted barrel nut. Get a bolt lift kit from stockade gun stocks. I would also suggest one of his stocks. He specializes in savage's. As for shilen barrels, I haven't heard anything negative about them. I like Lothar Walther barrels. Make sure you get an 1:8 twist so your rifle can handle the 140grn bullets. As for procedure, losen nut, twist barrel out, put go gauge in chamber, close bolt, twist new barrel on until it stops, tighten barrel nut. You'll have to put the barrel nut on before twisting it on the action. It's not hard at all. Welcome to the barrel nut brother hood. :D If your's does not have the accu-trigger, you'll want to look into the [url=http://www.riflebasix.com/index.php?main_page=specific_rifle_search&zenid=o3rl0d7h6c9ejqrhtbgcismkq7&fire_type=1&manufacturer=1&year=2007&x=51&y=14]Rifle Basix, Custom Bolt-Action Triggers[/url].
