[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2534979, member: 1951"] You should look into this a bit more. I have talked to a well known Savage gunsmith who offers truing on Savage actions. When I replaced a Savage bolt head on my rifle, he refused to true it saying their bolt heads are usually good out of the box. The reason the 2 piece bolt head is better is covered well in Harold Vaughn’s book. Basically both sides of the lugs will touch regardless of trigger pressure. The is a know issue with 1 pc rigid bolts. When lugs are set back, they yield. If they yield enough, something has to catch. Usually the bolt handle. Mauser had an extra lug for that! [/QUOTE]
