New savage owner here. Love my long action but hate bolt lift (I know,here we go again). My parts for a thrust bearing set up for the BAS should arrive today so we"ll see what that does. Spent a couple hours last night polishing the bolt to mirror finish in the recommended areas, lapped the lugs also. Havnt noticed any noticable change yet. I did notice that when you cock the bolt it is working against the bolt release spring. Is this true? I havnt taken the stock off yet but have found a few trigger pics on this site (accutrigger). Is the bolt release part of the sear? If not, could reducing/increasing spring tension of the bolt release help with bolt lift. I noticed the spring pressure on the bolt release is a pretty good amount of force. Some one suggested take a little off the very top of the cocking ramp right before the pin seats. Is this accurate?

Thanks,
David
