He recuts the lug ramps in the action and the cocking ramp in the bolt body so that they're at the same angle and work in unison rather than against each other (which is what causes most of the binding associated with hard bolt lift).

I've tried them all
all mine may have had timing issues when I got them & may still have timing issues
but the bolt lift problem WENT AWAY
when I put a longer bolt handle on them
several post in axis thread on this subject
Additional leverage isn't necessary if you fix the real issue - the timing. All the additional leverage does is masks the problem. On a properly timed Savage you can lift and cycle the bolt using minimal effort with your index finger
you are correct Sir
but there is a big difference in price
either way
the lift issue
is no longer an issue
what other issues
does timing correct ?
