[QUOTE="Mc Fraser, post: 2884218, member: 106529"] Hello, I want to move to pre-fit barrels between my two rifles: [LIST] [*]300 PRC, Defiance action, carbon wrap barrel chambered by a smith [*]Tikka T3x 300WM all factory. [/LIST] I have a few questions that I can't seem to wrap my head around: [LIST] [*]For my Tikka rifle, if I want to buy two pre-fit barrels, one in 7 PRC and another in 300WM (discard the factory barrel). [LIST] [*]How would I maintain consistent headspace when swamping barrels? I know I should use the go/nogo gauges, but there is a tolerance. All the videos suggest screwing in the barrel until you hit the gauge, back it up a bit and[I] [/I]tighten the nut. Wouldnt my distance to lands, change every time I switch? [/LIST] [*]For the Defiance action, most pre-fits don't require a nut; would it be better than the Tikka action? [/LIST] What I'm asking is, how do I ensure consistent headspace (not back it up a bit) when switching barrels back? TIA. [/QUOTE]
