Model 12 F/TR bolt diameter?

[DougG]

Don't own a micrometer and need to know the bolt diameter to order a bore guide. Anybody got the number handy?

What kind of bore guide are you getting? If your going with a Lucas you only need to tell him its for a Savage and the rod you are going to use ie Tipton, Dewey. The bolt raceway is about .702 I believe but if Im wrong someone will correct me.

Thanks. Got a micrometer and measured it at .695". Later confirmed that with Savage service. Ordered a Dewey bore guide and a Tipton carbon fibre rod among other things.

I have several Dewey guides. Just got my first Lucas guide for my 30BR last month. I will be getting one for the 6BR barrels in the near future. i really like the Lucas design. Tim
