[QUOTE="WiscGunner, post: 1531628, member: 97288"] Wholeheartedly agree and I apologize for misunderstanding. If your or the OP already has an action they would like to use then yes the barrel nut system is very handy, just a little inletting on the stock for clearance around the barrel nut and your are good to go. The other real advantage to a barrel nut system beside the use on less precise action is to be able to use the barrel between different rifles. A savage-style pre-fit with barrel nut can be swapped from a Bighorn to a Savage to a Mausingield or anything else that uses the Savage thread pattern. Can't go Remage to Savage but it does give you some added flexibility. However if you are starting fresh as it seemed the OP was considering a TL3 then a shouldered pre-fit is far better, cheaper and less prone to error in setting up each time you change barrels if sticking with the same action of same accurate model of action. All work well and we are very fortunate that these options exist today. Now if Bighorn or ARC would incorporate the Barloc into the action like AI has done... [/QUOTE]
