[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1370738, member: 2736"] I am still having trouble figuring out "WHY". I have worked on many Savages and 700s and don't see any advantages in precision alignment of the lugs and bolt face. When you do a proper job of machining all the surfaces of the lugs and face to the center line of the action/bolt you cant get any more true than that buy replacing it with a bolt head that by description "floats" increasing the likely hood that If a piece of grit or any foreign object gets under the bolt head can throw all alignments off, increasing the likelihood of poor performance "WHY". For the long range game, consistency is the name of the game and any way we can prevent "Murphy" from getting involved, the better. Leave the designing up to the designers and work on other things that have an impact on accuracy. Buy the action you want and be happy with it but don't over complicate/Think the design. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
