Anybody ever swap a Sako barrel? I have a Sako 85 in 7mm-08 that needs a new barrel and I'd like to try doing it myself as a project. From what I understand, the Tikka pre-fit barrels from Proof Research are interchangeable with the Sako 85.
The process seems pretty straightforward, but I cannot seem to find a Sako specific action wrench unless it's for the TRG series. Anybody know of a wrench that will work for removal? Possibly a Tikka wrench or maybe the Wheeler universal wrench?
Will the Tikka rear entry wrench work for torqueing the new barrel on?
Let me hear some ideas before I muck this up lol
