[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1448079, member: 39764"] Shorten the screw a bit and try again. What does the bolt face look like? Is there brass wipe on the bolt face? Is the cartridge base showing evidence of marking? Sounds to me like a tight chamber, No 2 chambers are alike, I'd tell you to bump the shoulders back a couple thousands but it don't sound like you reload so that isn't an option. Are you sure there isn't anything in the chamber? Have you looked (as in bore cam) to actually find out? Lots of 'what if''s' Changing furniture should have no impact on the mechanics unless a fixing screw is too long but if one is, there will be telltale marks on the bolt circumference. Not familiar with a Boyd stock as I only use Manners or MacMillan furniture. As an aside, I have 2 Savages, a 308 and a 338 and the 338 can have a heavy bolt lift but the cure is to bump the shoulders back a couple thou. [/QUOTE]
