Your gun has a floating bolt head so no need to lap the lugs and has the fasted factory lock time in te fireing pin so no need to do anything to the action. Get a set of headspace gauges for .308 win(same as 7-08) and a savage barrel but wrench and you can do a barrel swap in your garage in 15 min and be just as high quality as the factory. http://www.shootingtimes.com/2011/06...ls-in-minutes/
