I've had some questions on switching barrels.....

All you need is a barrel vise and an action wrench.

With the integral recoil lug on the Bat action, there's no need for a lug alignment tool.

There's no need for a go/no go gauge, either barrel will headspace just fine.

No need for a torque wrench, you don't need 100 ft lbs on a barrel, it ain't coming off accidentally.

Screw the barrel on by hand till it butts up to the action. For an experiment, with properly fitted barrels, once the barrel touches the action, take the barrel in one hand, action in the other, reverse both hands about a half turn each, then "snap" them together. Chances are you cannot unscrew the barrel w/o putting it in the vice & using the wrench.

I generally just screw the barrel on till it snugs up, stick it in the vice, tighten it down, install the wrench, and just lean on it a bit......done.

Using a wrench that goes in the port, to loosen, I hit the wrench lightly with the palm of my hand, if it doesn't come loose the first hit, a slightly harder second hit pops it loose.

Threads always need to be clean and greased.

So easy a caveman can do it.......don't be scared.....

Which barrel do you like better

Which barrel do you like better

I have a good load for the 8"twist Rock barrel, which is with the 105 Berger VLD's fueled by H-4350 at 3030 fps in the 22" barrel. It is a great combo, that shoots amazing, and is hide friendly on coyotes, if a guy is worried about that.

I never worked with the other barrel, as I just never got around to it. With both barrels in the deal, a person is covered for almost any bullet you want to shoot, whether you believe in big & slow, or small & fast.
