[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1892770, member: 61747"] Shep made a valid point and if you buy the nut from big horn you probably have a 12 point wrench in your tool box that fit, if you go the nut route. I have action wrenches, barrel nut wrenches, action vise, barrel vise...… when I bought the bighorn I bought their inside the action tool and use my barrel vise to hold everything steady. All that is really needed is soft jaws or something on your bench vice to hold the barrel in place while you set the rifle up via their action wrench though. You need about 40-80 ft lbs to tq the barrel down. I use the lesser and have never had an issue. So, blah blah blah, a barrel vise and the big horn tool, shouldered prefit, barrel swap in a 15 min. You can literally leave the scope on, rifle in the stock, just pull the bolt, and make this all happen. [/QUOTE]
