In stripping my Lightweight Hunter I've noticed something strange. First, the Savage manuals and parts diagrams are wrong. The LWH has a plastic mag well through which the front and rear action screws go into the pillars thence into the action. Savage was very smart and put two steel bushings of different heights that nest into the mag well holes. Thus when the action screws are tightened, it's action screw to bushing, bushing to pillar, and pillar to action; all metal to metal. EXCEPT: the rear action screw first goes through the front hole in the plastic trigger guard. So there's a layer of plastic between the screw head and the steel bushing which fits under the trigger guard. This seems like a big problem as a) relates to maintaing torque on the rear action screw, and b) longterm damage from the steel to plastic trigger guard.

Has anyone looked at their rifle that has this kind of setup? I have messages into Savage, but this just looks bizarre.

Thanks,

Robert
