[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3074319, member: 93138"] In my youth I used to look at Savages with disdain. That nut was ugly compared to a shouldered barrel. Now I see them as the DIYer's dream and just think of them as merely another part of the rifle. If you are handy and interested in doing the work PTG sells tools to 'blue-print' an action. No, at the end of it all that action may not be as perfect as one sent to a gunsmith. However, assuming that you do your part it will be better than when it left the factory. Use [URL='https://pacifictoolandgauge.com/remington-tools/9977-remington-700-bolt-lug-lapping-tool.html']this tool[/URL] to lap the lugs. Use this [URL='https://pacifictoolandgauge.com/truing-blocks-cutters/304-standard-rem-700-bolt-face-truing-cutter-guide-block.html']tool[/URL] and this [URL='https://pacifictoolandgauge.com/truing-blocks-cutters/306-223-bolt-face-truing-cutter-carbide.html#/8-choose_bolt_face-standard_308_484']cutter[/URL] to square the bolt face, and then this [URL='https://pacifictoolandgauge.com/remington-tools/9528-remington-700-bolt-face-lapping-tool.html']tool[/URL] to lap the bolt face flat and smooth. I used that last tool's body to also check and square the receiver face. Sharpie's make great "dykem' for projects like this. Citified, Lassen is not all that far from you. Maybe they offer short seminars that would be of use and interest? EDIT: xsn10s beat me to it. I guess that I'm not the only one with geographic knowledge of the area. (I spent all of my summers as a kid in Powell Butte.) Does COCC also have machine shop classes? Central Oregon is pretty large area, maybe neither CC is close to you? One of the things that I noticed at my now local CC is that there were guys who took night machine shop classes just to get machine tool access. The shop instructor knew them and just turned them loose. All that he asked was that they mentor new students when needed. [/QUOTE]
