[QUOTE="Lee7588, post: 2891965, member: 123764"] If you can screw a nut on a bolt then torque it to a spec tightness then you got this. I shoot a Bighorn/Zermatt origin long action with proof research barrels. I have a PMA barrel vise so I am good with using anything between a pencil to sendero contours and a Southern Precision rifles action wrench. There are multiple action makers who build the actions with tight tolerances so pre-fit barrels are possible. Some actions you can change bolt faces to be able to go from standard bolt face to magnum bolt faces. Other actions may not be able to swap bolt faces but you can just buy an additional bolt with a different bolt face. This offers the ability to change to a different caliber on the same action. I can my barrels between a 300 wm to a 6.5 prc, I do have a standard bolt face if I went that direction. Tools and a set of go and no go gauges and you are off to the races [/QUOTE]
