    Do a search for truing and timing a Savage action and you should find tons of info on what's involved. It's been discussed a lot. At one time Fred put up an entire write up on it, but I think that was several server crashes ago and may have been lost.

    I have not seen/read any info that treats a savage action any different than a Remington, etc.
    the one big difference is you cant just go in there and clean up threads and then expect a pre-threaded barrel to be the fit desired.

    Is that not correct ? I mean, would you not be taking a big chance on a loose thread fit ?

    I do know that there is the method/tooling where a "all in one" reamer/facer/etc is used and available from PTG and Manson , I think.
    And IIRC, is based on threading the tooling into the threads ?

    I am all ears, and receptive to criticsim , advise. As a newbie, I do have to experience al the mistakes in the learning process. lol.

    Three words "floating bolt head". That's why you don't have to treat a savage like a Remington.
