[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1388542, member: 74902"] Would not be excessive at all to swap them every 3-4 years. Just would not want to do it weekly. LOL. I have a Savage 300 WSM that I have two barrels for. One is a heavy, 26" target barrel that I shoot in the spring and summer and the other is a 24" carry weight that I put on in the fall for elk. Have switched them over about 3 times now. Has been worth it to me. It's not too big a hassle if you have a scope that you can take off without loosing the rings on the scope itself. You would probably need about $300 dollars in tools to do it easily: Couple sets of go/no gauges, barrel vice, barrel nut wrench, action wrench, and maybe a torque wrench. And try to use cartridges that use the same bolt face. [/QUOTE]
