do you require any special tools to install that barrel? and will it give the accuracy of a krieger or someting like that?
Far as I know, it's just a barrel nut wrench like a Savage.
Criterion was "spun off" from Krieger in 1999...

Guys using their barrels on Savage builds have reported excellent results.
Criterion are button rifled, Kriegers are cut rifled. Either/both can result in very accurate barrels...

If you've got the time, and the $$, and aren't a hardcore DIY'er, have a smith build it for ya...with an accuracy guarantee.

If you're like me, hardcore DIY, with more time than money these days, they're not a difficult project. I just finished a Savage build- including making my own stock- and it's a fun "hobby". Now that mine is done, I'm going to re-barrel my son's 700 (currently .223) in a more long-range capable caliber with the Rem-Age system.
