[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 1921404, member: 72440"] If your stock is pillar bedded on your Savage, try loosening the action screws a little bit and cycle your bolt, and see if it cycles smoother. It is a Savage and the action does not compare with other bolt guns like a Bergara, Tikka, Browning X-bolts, etc. After re-barreling mine, I had to smooth out (slightly open up) inside of my action pillars (not much)not sure if it was the added weight of the new barrel. Also had to open up the forearm of my stock to free float the barrel again prior to full re-bedding my stock. The other suggestions such as JB bore paste and I have used plus the lubricant. The action will smooth out over time by just firing rounds through it at about 500 rounds it smooths out pretty good. Savage is a good shooter out of the box, but requires a lot of user tuning to get it to be comparable to the aforementioned brands, (I will not buy another Savage except an action to build on) there are others brands as well that have pricing close to the 111 range. Good luck [/QUOTE]
