Be advised that some Savage barrels are ridiculously hard to remove the first time. Partly because they use a gorilla to torque them down at the factory and partly because of the bluing salts (or whatever they are) that bind the threads. I bought a left hand Savage Axis in .270 Win that I wanted to turn into a .243 and it took a lot of pressure to break the barrel loose and then I had trouble getting the nut off the barrel.

That .270 was the only left hand rifle in an Academy store at the time. I worked there at the time and used my employee discount. I had swapped other barrels in the past and expected an easy time of it. I finally got the barrel off and sold it to a neighbor who had a .270 with a pitted chamber. After selling the factory barrel, I had a cheap action and stock for my .243 conversion. Later I got a deal on a .250 Savage barrel and swapped it out. That time was easy to remove.
