I've heard it said on this forum, Kirby I think, and its shown in 'bedding 101', - the tang on the savage floats.

Let us know how she turns out(shoots thatis)....

That stuff called release agent, I'd use plenty of it in all appropriate places!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Jim, Roy and sniper2 both make good points. here's the thread Roy mentioned Bedding a Savage. And you can get away with to little bedding compound, just grind it out and try again. If you use to little release agent you got one hell of a problem. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

very very good info by Fiftydriver the tape on the tang to support it was the one thing that was stiil rolling around in my head . the action would rock a little bit the tape on the tang solved that. thanks again ill let yall know how it shoots. right now im getting 1 inch at a 100 yard with 3 differnt factory loads . so if all go's well i hopeing to better that thanks again
