I am sure some of you saw the article in Guns & Ammo about MidwayUSA offering barrels for Savage rifles. Well I decided I didn't need a 22-250 Rem anymore since I have a 243 Win, so I ordered a 24" 308 Win barrel, the barrel nut wrench, and a set of Go-No Go headspace gauges. It only took about an hour to swap out the barrels. All you have to do is figure out how to keep the action from rolling in the vise. I rigged up some wood blocks and pounded out some lead to slip in between the wood and the action. Then its a matter of whacking the wrench with a rubber mallet, spinning the barrel out, putting the nut on the new barrel, and fitting it into the action. Then headspace it and tighten the nut. I am anxious to test fire it. I am sure I will do the tire and string thing first just to make sure it doesn't blow up. Hoping it shoots well. If it does I will pick up another Savage after hunting season and rebarrel it to 358 Win.
