I use the same assortment of tools to remove & replace a barrel.
Action wrench
Barrel nut wrench
7/16 box wrench or allen to lock up the action wrench to the action
screwdriver or allen wrench for scope base
4lb hammer to loosen the barrel nut (if it's a first time)
Go - No Go set or sized brass to set the head space.
Big Book of Favorite Curse Words (again, if it's a first timer)
That's pretty much it. After you do it 2 or 3 times you'll develop your own set of procedures. I have it down to 40 - 45 minutes. My best was 22 minutes but it was an action I had replaced the barrel 2 weeks prior. It barely had time to settle in.
Take your time & have a go of it. Get in the groove like the rest of us. Become a Savage Barrel Swap Addict.
