[QUOTE="rem.xp100, post: 577587, member: 4164"] Savage bolt heads do indeed "float" - they allow for play in every direction at least a little. See for yourself in this nice video from the Savage website: [url=http://www.savagearms.com/accuracy/floatingbolthead/]floatingbolthead[/url] Well said, although the bolt head does float and will compensate for SOME misalignment, it isn't perfect. +1 Very well said again - I true all Savage actions - new or old - I have still seen the need to true the action face, action lugs, nut shoulder, and always replace the lug - they are stamped and I have never seen one with true parallel faces. Why do I true the action lugs? - my theory is - why make the floating head do more than it has to. The truer the action is the better it shoots (provided it has a good barrel).
