I'm a little shocked. I just pulled my Savage F/TR out of the safe to measure its headspace and started in on adding .002 tape to the back of my 1.631 gauge. Two pieces of tape were snug but the bolt still closed with little effort. Three pieces and the bolt would not close at all. That means my factory rifle (which shoots great BTW) is .005 over minimum or 1.635

Is this a normal condition for Savage?
