[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1712720, member: 93138"] I have heard that these barrels are [B][I]tight [/I][/B]in the action. Looking for an idea of what I've gotten myself into. Is this a "secure the barrel and then LEAN on the action wrench" situation, or a "secure the barrel and use a Hy-Torq" situation? Or worse? Thinking to order Brownell's barrel vise with the #7 inserts. The Wheeler action wrench that I have for a Savage might be adaptable. If not I will probably have to make a tool to turn the action as I'm not (yet) finding one specifically for it. Going with McGowen's "Howage" barrel nut system on the new barrel. Initial measurements say that the barrel threads need only be .400" longer than normal and that the barrel forward of the threads be no larger in OD than 1.150" for roughly .500" past the end of the threads.
