[QUOTE="robbor, post: 215028, member: 1420"] [b]lug[/b] The lug was not loose, as this was the first time i touched the nut on this rifle. I have a pretty good eye and dont recall this before but Ive put almost no round through this rifle. Looking at the lug the middle of the bend is in the bottom 1/3 or less of the hole to me if it was from being stamped it would be centered across the hole or wavy around the edge. Anyways i wish savage had email so i could send them the pic. The stock this action is going into was bedded so removed the bedding and need to rebed with a good lug. On a side note, when new, I fired a few primed pieces of fed brass and the primer popped out passed flush on these cases, way out probably over .020. I though that possibly the headspace was off. I asked over on 6mmbr and was told this was normal, no biggie. So I checked the head space when broke the barrel loose fired brass vs fully sized brass and it ended up right where it was supposed to be about .003-4. I never had pressure signs so i didnt worry. I will reduce this down to about .002 when i get my new lug. Sorry got to go dinners ready [/QUOTE]
