Thanks MNbogboy. great insight about the extraction, I never thought about that. Ill have to assemble it and just test it a couple times. and I did end up sawing off the cocking indicator and the lift kit goes in perfectly. thanks for the advice!

So I own a Savage 111 (bottom bolt release, visible cocking indicator) and I just bought a PTG replacement bolt body because the stock one is ugly, and a bolt lift kit to try and reduce some of the roughness when cocking. here are the parts. lift kit...

question, does anybody understand the PTG notes about needing to fit their custom bolts? off their website...

thats what i keep seeing, makes me kinda sad haha wish i knew. looking at the rem700 that action looks way smoother.

Can1010: The website asks that I masure the ID if the bolt raceways and send them that measurement to they can cut the OD of the bolt body, is this what you mean? Seems like other than that a bolt body would be plug and play? Jrock: you are correct, if I apply any force in ay direction that...

I wish I could :/ i re-barreled it to 300PRC. Before I did that I actually used the factory Berger 230gr Hybrid OTM and still was only getting 1 to 1.3 MOA. Of course that was with a super light sport button rolled carbon barrel from the factory.

I use a light oil, perhaps I should try something thicker.

hey guys, first official post here besides my intro. anyway i've had a problem ever since I bought my savage 111 chambered in 300winmag. (which I have now re chambered in 300prc) And that is the bolt seems really sloppy when pulled to the back and sometimes when i cycle the bolt without...

ha you already have a shooting gun! thanks all for the welcome.

holy crap thats a nice group, looks like mostly horizontal spread. without that wind I bet it would have been better.

thanks for the advice CTK! ive been using a bipod and a small rear bag, i do notice a small amount of shake in the reticle, maybe about 1/4MOA, its hard to hold it perfectly still. perhaps a front bag and some weights like you said to make the rifle heavier.

roger that. researching reloading equipment now, RCBS sells a all in one kit that seems to be good, minus the dies.

hey ShtrRdy id love too but the round is relatively new, so far i've only found two options for ammo at all both from hornady. They are the ELD-X and ELD-match. I havnt tried the ELD-X yet, you think that might improve things?

thanks, and nice groups!
