• Savage Bolt-Head Configurations

    Here are some of the different bolt head configurations used in the last several years and the most current.


    L to R
    short action (7/16" lugs)
    short action controlled round feed(1/2" lugs)
    long action (1/2" lugs)
    new short action heavy magnum (9/16" lugs)

    The new heavy magnum bolt head requires the new relieved front baffle (shown to the right) and also a longer firing pin. The new heavy magnum bolt head is replacing the short action CRF bolt head, as the CRF is not needed on the new center feed magazines for the WSM line of cartridges.

      Would this be it? however I thought the 9/16ths one was push feed. Since I no longer have one I cant remember.
