[QUOTE="jbj, post: 801639, member: 62837"] The floating bolt head on the Savage obviates the need for lapping and they will square up on their own, and it will NOT help with bolt lift. Win and Rem actions benefit from this work, but not Savage. Bolt lift can be helped with a lift kit, which is DIY, or having a smith time the bolt (only ever read about it) Bedding will be a better $60 spent at a smith, or for the price of some Devcon and courage, bed it yourself. If you want to true/square the action, barrel, lug and nut, it won't hurt, but seriously, shoot the gun first. You might be shocked at how well it shots. And the advice of reading (obsessively) over at Savageshooters will give you a wealth of info. And the paid membership is well worth it. [/QUOTE]
