new member here, was referred to this site as the "know everything savage" resource...I have a 16fhss in 260rem purchased last week, unfired yet (waiting on scope) but have cycled rounds at the range...the bolt head is catching on the action when I feed, I was already planning to order a PTG bolt body kit, and from my understanding the bolt diameter is .700 vs .690 I measured on the factory bolt
I'm not sure if the new bolt/diameter will help eliminate this play and bolt will feed better, it is reported to remove some of the sloppy feeling....or do I need to ship the action off to be trued as well?
hoping to have this rig ready to hunt aug 15th, as of now I have to consciously hold the bolt handle just right to feed nicely without catching, minor nuisance and fine for targets but not what I want for hunting
any feedback here?
thanks
