[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 268191, member: 2580"] Good advice. If the rifle has been shot a lot, it may show some bolt setback and maybe excessive wear at the cocking ramp on the receiver bridge, but the locking lug area in particular should be Rockwell or Brinell hardness tested. Strength directly correlates to hardness. Since the question has been raised, I would want to know more before either finishing the project or replacing the receiver. A call to Savage would be in order. They should tell you either their design hardness (or design yield strength). They may even want it back to test themselves. I would like to know how it comes out. Good luck, Tom [/QUOTE]
