I've got one action and 7 barrels in different calibers and two bolts with different bolt faces and never have I had the problem of thread wear, but I do use an anti seize lubricant on the threads since it's a stainless action and the barrels are stainless, the lubricant is to prevent galling the threads.
My scope stays on the action everytime I change the barrel and a barrel vise and action wrench is certainly cheaper than a rifle or even an action.

If the scope base threads are touching the barrel tenon threads then you will most likely end up with accuracy issues.

If the barrels are chambered and fitted and have shoulder and not a barrel nut you don't need a go - nogo guage, just remove one barrel and screw the other on and tighten it up adjust the scope and go and shoot.

One thing I would highly recommend if you go ahead with this is to have the action checked to ensure the front face of the action is truely perpendicular and square to the threads and the threads are square to the bolt bore.

This is exactly what I was hoping to hear, thanks mate!
@gqhoon, legend thanks mate!
