Have a Savage 11 Trophy Hunter in 308. It has light weight sport barrel that heats up quickly at the range. Would like to consider replacing it with a heavier barrel. Problem is the barrel nut is completely smooth - no wrench notches like normal Savage barrel nuts. Anyone have similar and have changed barrels? Familiarity w nonstandard Savage barrel nuts and barrel replacement (preferably something other than a pipe wrench)?
Thnx.
Thnx.
