How much play should their be in the bolt handle when the bolt is closed (as if the gun was ready to shoot). It appears my bolt handle is a little lose when I close the bolt. The handle has a gap of .066 of an inch or 17 sheets of computer paper between it and the bolt. When the bolt is closed, I can wiggle the handle back and forth (towards the barrel and stock) because of the gap. The bolt doesn't move just the handle.
I didn't put a round in the chamber but I don't think that would tighten up the bolt handle.
I know there are a lot of tools for Remington bolts to take them apart for cleaning. Are their any tools for Savage bolts? How do you clean your Savage Bolt?
Thanks!
