15-20 minutes is a possibility depending on the tools being used, ability and experience. Post factory installed barrels for swaps I only use these two tools and a 5/16" allen without having to remove the scope and or mount(s).

They go back together using the same tools. Time? I haven't timed myself but I'd say 15-20 minutes is within the norm. Using those tools I've already swapped barrels on a shooting bench at the range, the tailgate of my truck and last Thursday evening an '06 barrel for a 280 on the carpeted floor of my man cave.
