[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1795838, member: 64108"] Your gun is only as good as its weakest parts, as stated if you get the precision nut and lug the next item would be to square the action, then lugs. This is a Savage Lightweight Hunter LA I just tore apart for my 6-284 build 6 twist barrel to shoot the 110 Hammers(non lead state). It is light a action at ~17oz with trigger, no bolt. The lugs appear to make very little/uneven contact by looking at the wear on the back of them. Harder to see the marks on the receiver from the light reflecting but it is an example of what can be improved on in a factory action. The very solid wood stock weighs in at 1lb 14oz with bottom metal, magazine, recoil pad, and trigger guard. This gun was new $475 gunbroker purchase, hopefully I can get some money from selling the .270 WIN barrel. that's what I like about barrel nut builds ! As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge JE and others.[ATTACH=full]166433[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166436[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166438[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
