[QUOTE="raz175, post: 2197386, member: 90103"] If you are still closing on a no-go gauge, you didn't screw the barrel in far enough. To set the headspace in a Savage, start threading the barrel into the receiver, then put the go gauge in and close the bolt. Continue threading the barrel in until it stops with light pressure. Lock the barrel nut down. Cycle the bolt to check that the go gauge stills closes. Check with the no-go gauge and make sure it doesn't close. If it closes, the no-go gauge was made wrong. [/QUOTE]
