[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2918905, member: 1951"] The Savage is a good rifle. I’m not sure about new ones, but the bolt can be disassembled with a big Allen wrench…..you will want a moderate torque screwdriver to reassemble. I use locktite on it because the bolt is way oversized and nut way to thin to get much clamp load. I have paid to true and time a Savage, but I’m not sure it is required. I would avoid all the bolt lift kits….in general I’m not sure they smooth things up much. I usually set at something experience tells me will shoot. Adjust charge weight until Sd is minimized or good enough. Then try adjusting seating depth as a final tune. Often times a good load gets little out of seating depth and a bad load never gets anything repeatable out of it… there is still value in adjusting it. [/QUOTE]
