I’m in middle georgia and looking for someone to do a barrel swap on a savage small shank barrel for me. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve called the people I usually use and all my other gun guys but they don’t know anyone. It’s a 6.5 creedmoore going from a 22 inch taper to a 26 inch heavy. Any help would be appreciated

I have considered this but since I’m only swapping the one barrel in this caliber and don’t have enough knowledge on bolt guns I’d prefer to pay someone who’s done it before

It's super easy honestly check it out it's straightforward... Barrel vise or savage action wrench and a Savage barrel nut wrench with a go Guage... Too easy master chief.

As an aside I would never put a barrel in for somebody else without really good liability insurance.

Not sure how close you might be to him, but you could contact Archer Custom Rifles.
He's in Swainsborough, GA.
Fast turnaround time. Might even be able to do it while you drink a cup of coffee.
