[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1712406, member: 93138"] I used the various tools sold that index off the barrel threads to "tune" a Savage action. I wouldn't insult those who truly true an action by calling what I did a "truing." I did find that the front face of the receiver, which showed subtle lathe tool marks, to have high and low regions. Same for the action lugs and the bolt face. None of them were bad, but none of them were perfectly true either. Worse, the bolt face was slightly concave. Based on this one experience I think that Savage's floating bolt head buys you some tolerance to things being just a little off, but in any sort of custom build that they should receive the same attention as every other action.
