[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 604139, member: 39764"] Jeff... It's not relieved in the center of the underside, the radius extends uninterrupted across the entire bottom. Looks to be ball milled with an appropriately sized cutter. I can see the tooling marks. Actually I was surprised it didn't have a milled Vee down the centerline, a common practice in machining. I've had the action out and did a look-see inside. Savage Arms are very impressive internally. I appreciate quality machining and fit of intrinsic parts and this firearm has excellent fit and finish throughout, at least visually. I know the proof is in the shooting and we'll get to that..... The exception was the adjustable cheek. The fixing bolts were basically oxide coated carriage bolts with a cobbly knob and the bolt shanks stuck out past the knob surface. I fixed that with 18-8 Stainless polished dome headed carriage bolts with the shanks ground to length (to be flush with the knobs tightened) and some nice knobs in hard black plastic. We might have crossed paths. I have customers and friends all over the country, actually worldwide. I do more business offshore than here, a couple patents and a very active imagination. My best ideas come when I'm reloading of all activities.. It's tedious and repetitious so my mind is elswhere, coming up with ideas that I sketch and later prorotype and build into marketable parts....sometimes. Sometimes they wind up in the scrap can..... Yes, a couple around Des Moines and over near Council Bluffs. We could have crossed paths at any time, I meet a lot of people in my travels... I've had my sidecar outfit in shows all over. [/QUOTE]
