[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 332822, member: 6705"] Yes, it's that simple. It takes me about 10 minutes to swap barrels. 15 if I'm going to a different bolt head. Savage uses a barrel nut to set head space. To remove the nut you'll need a action wrench or barrel vise and a nut wrench. Put the action or barrel in the vise. Give the nut wrench a sharp whack with a hammer. Unscrew the barrel. Screw the new barrel onto a go-gauge or piece of fired and sized brass. Tighten the nut back down. Put your scope and stock back on and go shoot. You could be shooting a 223 and 15 minutes later be shooting a 338 Edge on the same action. Savages are the easiest to find in lefty. [/QUOTE]
