With the Savage system there is really no benefit to changing the bolt. Since savage uses the floating bolt head it floats to get better and more even engagement vs say a rifle with solid lugs machined into the bolt itself. Some people have argued that an aftermarket bolt head (PT&G) will help in the accuracy department, but I have yet to see any proof. Mostly the reasons for changing out bolt parts are either to repair broken parts, changing to a different configuration, going fluted to help with debris, oversized to help tighten sloppy cycling, or just the plain ol' bling factor.
