Gunsmithing Barrel vise recommendation?

[BurnOut]

Welp, time to get going on my Savage re-barreling project... the plan is to convert a blind mag Model 10FP in .308 to .260. The gun currently has a 20" (factory) heavy contour barrel, and I'm planning on a similar contour for the replacement barrel (though slightly longer at 22 inches).

So, with that said, does anyone have any recommendations for a good barrel vise? I don't need some kind of gee-whiz setup, but I don't want the equivalent of a Harbor Freight piece, either. Also, if anyone knows off the top of their head which inserts I would need to properly hold my barrel, I'd really appreciate it.

I have a Brownells and Farell. The Brownells uses bushings and is great for removing factory barrels.

The Farrel is easier to use and I try to use it first.

I've the Brownells from day one and have been happy with it. I have had to make a couple of aluminum inserts for a couple of odd sized barrels that I didn't have in the Brownells set, but that's no big deal. You can also make your own wrench if you have time and machines like Sniper300 did, which turned out super nice.

Gentlemen- I appreciate the pointers... I'll have a look at both the Brownell's and Farell pieces.
