[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1577200, member: 31264"] Yes & No. That swivel head on the Savage doesn't always work. In my humble opinion and experience as a smith, 50% or better lug contact isn't as important as concentric contact precisely aligned with the bore. That's WAY easier to do on a Remington than a Savage. Maybe another way to say this is that a pair of lugs that float and make 100% contact will still shoot like crap if that floating head has to tilt off axis in order to make that 100% contact...... There is a reason that most precision custom actions (defiance, bat, etc) have one piece bolts. That's not a bash at Savage. Just pointing out that a floating head is no guarantee of optimum lug geometry. [/QUOTE]
