[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1889229, member: 113501"] Why not get Johnnie Walker to do it? There are lots of places that make good Savage prefit barrels. You can go for low cost with a new Savage take off or an ER Shaw, you can go for high end with a PVA made with a Rock Creek blank or you can go exotic with a carbon fiber wrapped Proof Research. You just need a headspace gauge, a barrel nut wrench and a way to hold the action. I've done three, one on a Savage and two on American Rifle Company actions that can take a Savage prefit barrel. A reason why you might not want to do it is if you want to get your action trued while it is apart. I would at minimum upgrade to a flat ground recoil lug while the barrel is off unless you are going ultra low budget with a Savage takeoff barrel. After that, truing the action is a question of what your goals are. If sub MOA is ok, you probably don't need action truing unless you think it was an issue. If you want ultimate accuracy, that is a step toward that goal. [/QUOTE]
