[QUOTE="tankgijohn72, post: 1634848, member: 77441"] If you understand headspace and have bench vice and wrench then you are good to go. Remove ejector, close bolt on go gauge, screw barrel until touching go gauge. Install barrel nut to recommended torque. Remove go gauge. Insert no go gauge. If you cannot close the bolt you are good, if you can close the bolt you have excessive headspace and need to recheck your work. I have 26 nosler er shaw accuracy barrel on a 116 savage. Consistent shooter. Got a mule deer at 700 yds this year. Sub minute, 3450 with 127 Barnes lrx and retumbo. If you plan to shoot it a lot, go with the 264 WM. The nosler is awesome, but hard on the throat. If you plan to hunt with it and shoot 30-40 rounds a year, no issue. If you intend to shoot 400-500 rounds a year you will need to rebarrel in a couple years or sooner. I got one of their muzzle brakes installed. Not really needed, save your money. The recoil with the accuracy barrel is quite manageable. [/QUOTE]
