[QUOTE="mcnanysa, post: 2119632, member: 115008"] Simple swap can be done by (just about) anyone. Make sure the guy you're working with has done a few of your action types in the past. Remington 700's a pretty straight forward with the correct tools (action wrench, barrel vice, "go" and "no-go" gauges), appropriate reamers. Your 'smith should know how to set-up the action and barrel to be concentric ("run out") so that when the reamer is run in to the new barrel, everything is dead on. There's more detail to it, but that should at least give you some questions to ask to determine if the 'smith you're talking to knows his stuff. From there, get a couple of references, and call them.
