As Bergerboy stated it is very simple to do with a headspace gauge and barrel wrench and a bench vice with the proper jaw softeners, lots of YouTube videos on it .
I did my first Savage barrel swap in 1970 IIRC.
However c you are not confident of do not have access to the tools needed, Rod Hendrickson or KS Arms are two Edmonton shops that would do it for you I am sure .

I would definitely do it myself if I had the tools. By the time I order and receive what I need, I could have someone do it for me for the same or less cost. This is a one time swap so don't need to invest in the tools just to have sitting on the bench collecting dust.

In that case for sure, either of the two I mentioned would beckon would phone right off the bat!

I recall reading that the Savage barrels are similar to what was used for anti-aircraft guns in WW II. They would get really hot and the crew would then do a quick swap for another barrel and re-engage the incoming planes.
