Any suggestions?
The Brownells one looks nice, but is kind of spendy.
The Surgeon inside the action wrench is a lot more economical, but wondering if it will work on a "stuck" barrel.
Any insight would be great. I want something that will last and work well, so I'm not afraid to spend a little extra; however, I don't want to waste $$.

I just used a pipe wrench with some protection on the action. I put penetrating oil in the action screw hole, warmed the action at the barrel threads up with a propane torch and the deal sealer was rosin powder on the barrel in my custom barrel vice (a chuck of 4x4 with a hole in it ripped down the middle on a table saw). I put my barrel vice in a big bench vice. Midway also has the action wrenches if you want to compare price. I'd get one if I was going to do this frequently.

Check out the ones on Gunbroker. Auction # 248015223 I bought this set last year or so and have used it a few times. It works great for me.

What did you use for protecting the action in the pipe wrench. |

Several layers of solid cardboard and some duct tape ;D. A little wood couldn't hurt anything either. There's always a way.

Got mine on bay, $68 or so at the time. It has an aluminum compression ring to avoid marring the finish. Works very well, but still needed heat on the blued 700ML.

I have a large bench vise and a 4x4 and a 16'" drill bit,I can't afford rosin powder ,I'll just sweep up some shavings off the floor.
Just kidding , good Idea and useful to know.

I've been happy with this one. All 4 barrels I've pulled came off pretty easily, a little grunting on my part, but not a lot. |

Way back when we used a rope wrench to unscrew or tighten barrel. Loop the rope with two ends dangling and then wind the ends around the barrel, tie a knot and use a stout piece of wood or metal to twist the barrel loose. The receiver was held in a vise protected with wood. Another way to skin a cat. Ben
