[QUOTE="acloco, post: 529633, member: 6137"] Welcome to owning a Savage. Order the barrel in the caliber you wish, use existing or change the bolthead on your bolt, loosen the barrel nut, unscrew the barrel, tighten the new barrel on your GO GAUGE, tighten barrel nut down, and go shooting. Just a barrel change - takes about 15 minutes. The Savage/Stevens actions enjoy a floating bolt head. I have trued one Savage action thus far - had a burr on the face of the action from the threads. I do check every Savage/Stevens action on a surface plate. Even though the boltheads do float, I still lap the lugs to give as close to contact on the lugs as possible. [/QUOTE]
