[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1615092, member: 11960"] I've used a lot of both styles of barrels on both Savages and now on an ARC Nucleus action and I'm partial to the shouldered style. It's a lot easier to just clamp a barrel vise on to the bed of the truck and just spin the barrels on the action without the nut. The barrels that I run with the nut are typically the ones that get shot the least so it's not really a big deal. The other option is to drill and tap your barrel nuts for a set screw. Just set your headspace, tighten the nut then tighten the set screw. You can even throw a little thread lock on the nut to keep it in place. Then you get the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
