[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1317037, member: 91090"] Well it really is easy to set up a switchbarrel savage for quick barrel changes. First what the barrel nut does is create a sboulder on the barrel setting the headspace. If after setting the headspace you glue the barrel nut onto the barrel you have created the barrel sboulder with the correct headspace. This barrel can be removed and replaced without having to worry about headspace. I reccomend putting index lines on the barrel, barrel nut and action as an easy check to see if something has moved. Easy way to remove or replace a barrel is put the barrel in a barrel vice and use a rear entry action wrench like the davidson. If you inlet your stock enough to clear the barrel nut while you unscrew the barrel it is possible to switch barrels without even taking the action out of the stock. As for scope sight in. I would suspect they would be different. Simple answer is just record the settings for each barrel and you will be very close. [/QUOTE]
