My Happy 260 Remington Build

Nice looking rig. Dang nice groups. It looks like you're gonna have a heckuva season.

What and whose tools did you use to install the barrel to the action?

Sorry IF, I was without Internet for a bit… Don't know how I survived LOL! I bought a barrel nut wrench and action wrench from Jim At Northland Shooters Supplies. I like having my own tools. Also, I have a Remington 700 in 7 Mag that I use for reaching out a little further. If the factory barrel shows signs of losing accuracy or if I just get a bug, I will replace it with a CBI Remage barrel and use my tools for that swap.

Thanks guys… These rifles are sure a lot of fun to mess with. One of my irreplaceable Helping-Hands-Buddies is a dyed in the wool Remington aficionado who swears he will NEVER own a Savage or even have his picture taken holding one. The funny thing is that he is the one who shot this group. He may not like 'em but he sure shoots mine well!!

Thanks a lot hunts4fun. I have been a Remington shooter for over 50 years, this is my first venture into Savage and the barrel nut. I might be pestering you for more information along the way if you don't mind.
