Savage Mod. 12 Varmint Low Profile, 22-250, soon to be converted to a 6.5 Creedmoor. But until I find a Creedmoor barrel the 22-250 should be fun to play with. My first varmint rifle.
Anyone have experience swapping barrels on a Savage?

If you haven't already, follow the
Savage Shooters Forum. It helped me understand what I needed to do when I converted my Model 16 in .243 Win. to the 20 Grendel.
My main challenge was knowing which way to turn the barrel nut.
Second was not going immediately to the PPC bolt face. The larger face works most of the time, but does tend to leave cases in the chamber.

Thanks guys, been doing some research on the Savage action. Great u-tube video and will definitely check out the Savage forum. Lots of similarities between the ARs and the Savage action, as far as being able to make barrel changes.
JA, where did you get your barrel from?
