I can see on my unfired new to me Model 12 that I have very little PE. My bolt handle engages the ramp very little and late in the lift cycle. Given the ball bearing setup in the baffle I wonder why Savage didn't use something similar to push the baffle away from the action? I don't see where having too much PE would hurt and it would accomplish the same thing as the set screws. Hell even a simple leaf spring screwed into the baffle would fix it.
