Replacing tikka roughtech barrel

[Westelkmule]

I will probably need to replace my tikka roughtech barrel within a year or so. 300 winmag. Whats the most economical option for this? If i get new take off from someones build will I need to take to gunsmith?
I think local place charges 200 to install.

Borrow my tools in my sig and do it yourself. It’s easy and feels great to be able to do it.

Swaps are easy when set up for them.

Took me all of 20 minutes to do one last week. And, I kept forgetting stuff I needed cause I had used most of my tools at the range the day before and didn’t put them away.

Do you both use headspace no-go/go gauges?

I use a go gauge and tape on it or no-go
