Blueprinting Savage Actions ?

[Jay Mackey]

Is it possible to blueprint or tune a Savage model 12 action? I was under the impression that the floating bolt head would align the bolt face with the bore. I have 2 mod. 12 LRP's in 260 rem. One rifle shoots 1/4 moa & the other 1/2 moa, I handload for both & cannot improve the 1/2 moa rifle with any ammo tweaks.

You can send the action to Fred Moreo at Sharp Shooter Supply and have him do a Time and True job as well as true the lug and nut. I thinks that's about the closest you're going to get for what you're looking for.

Sure can. Done 2 last night.

But also, the difference could be in your barrels?????

thanks for the input & info.

Are these 2 rifles in hs precision stocks or laminates or just Tupperware? If you have a rigid stock you can play with the torque of the bedding screws to make the rifle shoot better.

Both are in HS stocks torqued to 65 in. lbs. 1/2 moa rifle has been steel bedded around the recoil lug ( it would move fore & aft in the stock )

How long of a wait if you send the bolt and action out? I heard it may take weeks.
