First barrel swap

[65Whelen]

My first Savage and first barrel swap. I bought this 12 VLP 22-250 last April with the intent of swapping to a 6.5 Creedmoor. Thanks to all the great info on this Forum and Rosco (a member here) who I bought the X-Caliber barrel from, I got 're done last week. Also, cudos to NSS for the top quality tools needed and their customer service.

Haven't shot it yet, range report to follow, pending weather conditions.

Side note:
I was impressed with this rifle and it's accuracy. I shot 22-250 factory ammo and it shot so so, around an MOA, but with reloads it really shined, .5 MOA all day long and my best 5-shot group was .305. It's the best group I've ever shot which made me hesitant about changing barrels. I hope this Creedmoor doesn't disappoint, we'll see.
