[QUOTE="WYOHTF, post: 2406441, member: 115970"] I got nervous in 2014 and had a friend that worked at X-Caliber Barrels mount the barrel on a Savage. In the last few years things have progressed for me in knowledge and confidence, I wish I would have bought the tools and did it myself. Not that my buddy did a poor job, the rifle is a tack driver. But it’s pretty easy and there are ways around the no-go gauge, as simple as scotch tape. Since that gun I have done 3 for me and my boys and one for a friend. Two were Tikka actions. All we’re done with barrel nuts. Bedding a stick is super simple. Just takes a little time. The only reason I want a smith to maybe mount my barrels now is if I’m gonna have them true the action/bolt face they might as well mount the barrel. JMTCW [/QUOTE]
