[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 576434, member: 6705"] I don't bother. Mine have always shot very well without. But, I do a lot of work smoothing up the function. I'll trim the bolt assembly screw and install a bolt lift kit that I make. I'll also polish the cocking ramp and the bolt body under the rear baffle. I also smooth up the inside of the bolt body where the cocking sleeve lives. I'll also make sure the cocking sleeve is round and does not drag inside the bolt body. If you do decide to true up the action, don't do it like a Remington along the bolt raceway. Savages need to be trued about the action tennon threads. You can make a mandrel that screws into the action tennon so that you can face the actio about the threads. You can also use the same mandrel to face the barrel nut. Don't open the threads or you won't be able to use prefit barrels. [/QUOTE]
