    That is a great write up. I actually think I could do this without any issues.

    Question, there is no mention of lubricating the bolt. What is the best lube to use and what needs to be lubed? Also a little OT but how did to get an acutriger in the axis?

    There are as many opinions about lubing bolts as there are about politics. So I didn't get into that.
    Any time you have metal to metal sliding contact, I would use some sort of lubricant.
    You don't want to put so much on that it gets into the chamber, or so that it gunks up the works.
    Lubrication traps dirt and crud, eventually resulting in a sort of abrasive sludge.
    Personally, I use oil and a thin coating of green grease (cocking ramp and cocking piece pin, mainspring). But, I also disassemble and clean my bolt probably more often than necessary so I don't worry too much about grit buildup.

    I am sure that others will chime in with differing opinions...but the bottom line is that it should be kept clean and lubricated.

    The accutrigger? I was wondering when someone would notice. I retrofitted that myself. I'll probably do an article one of these days (I think I took photos).
    If you have an accutrigger and want to do the retrofit right away, PM me and we can talk. It's not too difficult.

    Thanks for this help. My axis is misfiring so this write up has come when I need it.

    You're welcome...just saw your other post. I won't respond to it, since I answered here...but maybe you will get some other opinions...and likely they will be just as good or better than my opinion, no doubt.

    Yes very much so. Look through the articles and I believe there is one or more about the Savage model 10/110 bolt. I know there is at least on about adjusting firing pin protrusion (which you can not do easily on an Axis)
    If you need help, PM or better yet, start a new thread. (in the appropriate section, of course. )

    Thank you for this post. I just picked up a Model 11 Trophy Hunter XP, and was baffled as to how to take the bolt handle off. Glad I stumbled on this. Membership earned!

    If I recall correctly he was spending a lot of time helping take care of a family member in poor health, but that's been a couple years ago now.

    STEP 3...are you recommending to put the front baffle washer in between the front baffle and the bolt head or in a different location....and does it matter which way its facing as it is concave?
