    I can feel it on an empty chamber, but it's only really an issue with fired rounds.
    So this statement was inaccurate?
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    After more fiddling with it and switching bolts, I don't think it has anything to do with the bolt at all. It was the same with other bolts. I realized it wasn't the fired case that was the issue, but that the bolt was no longer cocked after firing. Ball bearing fix did nothing.

    I think it's the Accutrigger. The worst of the effort is right when the center blade is being reset. I ordered a Rifle Basix SAV1 trigger and we'll see what that does.

    I'll need to fire it to be sure, but dry firing, the Rifle Basix trigger seems to have made a dramatic difference. It's probably still the heaviest throw among my Savages, but certainly within the acceptable range. I may throw a tactical bolt handle on it and call it good.
