McGowen barrels

[TC338]

Has anyone used the McGowen prefit savage barrels? What are your thoughts? How difficult are they to change?

love mine. 6.5x47 lapua. Barrel swap will take about 15 minutes. Mine will shoot about 3 different loads under 1/2 inch and finding a load that works took no time at all. I wouldn't hesitate a second to buy one and is now my go to for savage pre fits

What tools did you need for the barrel change?

My current Mcgowen barrel in .260AI is by far my most consistent and accurate shooter. Very good barrels as far as I am concerned. Barrel Vice is a must whether it is home made or purchased. Barrel nut wrench is also a must. Go ahead and get the barrel vice, action wrench and nut wrench because I can guarantee that once you see how easy it is to change barrels it will not be your last.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking, along with a go gauge for each caliber.
