[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1783505, member: 38048"] I used to sleeve all my bolts and take the clearance to .001. The sleeves sit right under the bridge of the receiver and are not visible with the bolt closed. When I do a full blueprint on a 700 I cut the raceway to . 705 and then sleeve the bolt to .704. I used to do this for all my actions but found that for general porpose hunting rifles it really wasn't needed. So after I stopped doing the sleeves I really found that there was no loss in accuracy. On Target or varmint rifle builds I do still sleeve to try and get every last bit of accuracy I can. As far as the bolt being lifted up in the rear this is true. But when the trigger is released the firing pin spring pressure will force the bolt back to square before the primer is struck. This is why running the standard weight firing pin and spring is more accurate. It gives the bolt more time to settle down before firing. I have no issue to those who run real fast lock time pins and springs and they may help you shooting from field positions. Shep [/QUOTE]
