Okay, my idle 0200 thought for the day.
The engraving on replacement barrels almost never line up as to be legible in the right place. Savage barrels are threaded 20TPI and that breaks down to .050" per full turn.
Is it possible to shim or shorten the floating bolt head enough to correct this problem?

You'd have to move the pin that holds the bolt head on, forward or backward too. That would pose all kinda challenges,you'd actually have to move the hole in front of the bolt body. A rechambered barrel could be timed to straitin it out. Stop thinking Jack your scarin us!

Kinda scares me too.....I used to think about better things at 2:00 in the morning.

A different thickness recoil lug would do it
My mistake, I misread read the original question.

Nevermind, I was thinking of the nut, not the barrel.How?

Neither the nut or lug would make a differance, The Lug slides freely over the barrel threads while it's already headspaced and nut just locks it in place.
How about buying a vibrating engraving pen and just etch the info you want in the right place after the barrel is installed. Can't hurt to have the same info in more than one place can it?
Have you ever tried to use a "vibrating engraving pen " on a steel rifle barrel?
