[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 445618, member: 9964"] There are several ways to true the action. One is to use a double ended spider (action truing jig) with a precision ground mandrel. Using .0001 indicator to align the bolt race to the spindel. Then to recut the thereads with a single point threading tool. While you have it dialed in you would also face the lug embuttments. Another way to true up the threads is using a PT&G action truing jig . It has a combination tap/mandrel and uses bushings to aline the tool with the bolt race way. PT&G also makes a boltway reamer. The action face can be trued with the action on the mandre and using a lathe bit. Savages come with a stamped out Recoil lug. This should be replaced with a precision ground recoil lug.
