[QUOTE="can1010, post: 2191392, member: 43193"] once you have the tools and have did a few you can change a savage barrel in ten minutes. you don't need a barrel vice just the action wrench and it is the same as Remington. I milled a slot in it so I don't even have to take the scope rail off. mount action wrench in vice secure action and loosen nut, spin off barrel, put new lug and nut on new barrel screw into action put gauge in chamber close bolt and tighten barrel snug nut check with no-go and finish tighten nut. pretty simple I would go with at least a 1-8 twist and plan on going single shot trying to go that short has its problems on a savage long action with a cartridge that short get the new six sided nut and just use an open end wrench and save on a nut wrench. a pipe wrench will get the old one off. total cost will be action wrench and your gauges and you can rent those plus barrel of choice and nut and lug [/QUOTE]
