[QUOTE="handirifle, post: 625564, member: 44079"] rryun Howdy, my first post here. Been reading the site a bit to get a feel for the folks on it, and have not been disappointed. I was reading your whole thread, and noticed one of your concerns about the Savage, was bolt lift. Go to savageshooters.com, good folks over there as well. There is a gunsmith that posts there, and is a site sponsor, that does what he calls timing and truing the action. Not sure what he does, but I have heard it really smooths out the bolt lift, and the whole action. I THINK it's Fredd at Savage Shooters Supply (SSS), but am not positive. I have never had him do any work on mine, so I cannot speak from personal experience, but I can't recall ever reading a bad post about him. Good luck on your choice. I went with 30-06, but my personal limit will be about 400. To me that IS long range. I really do admire those folks that can consistantly take game at extreme ranges, but I do not have the time, money, or expertise to try big game at those ranges. Don't mean I can't learn a lot about shootin at 400yds from the folks that shoot at 800 though. [/QUOTE]
