On a side note the fit and finish look pretty good on your rifle. I assume it is a short magnum?
Keep you angle low when you file or hone.

Interesting with that front baffle.......

I would send the rifle to Savage for repair.
Fix it yourself in an hour or so OR, ship it off to Savage and wait......
You do know that a Savage is a DIY rifle??
Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.
Looks like an Axis front baffle. Wonder if Savage is making some changes yet again. Would make sense really - all the Axis rifles use S/A bolt heads and baffles, so why make two different parts (one for Axis, one for everything else)?

I didn't know the Axis used that baffle. I thought it was for additional stroke when 110's/10's chambered for the short magnums. I'm with you though. Why make 2 parts? I'm looking at the finish on that action. I have seen very few that nice.

Do you mean you have seen very few Ultralite actions that nice or Savage actions as a group? My Ultralite 6.5 CM 110 (short action but marked 110*) has the best machine and finish work I have ever seen on any Savage. It looks more like a custom rifle costing 2x the price.
The baffle on mine is slightly larger in height than the bolt head, though it does have some pretty sharp corners on it. No hang-ups on cycling bolt slowly or rapidly. I am going to try beveling those sharp corners on the baffles, bolt heads and raceways on some of my less smooth cycling actions. It sounds like a good idea to help reduce hangups on the bolt travel.
(* Since when did they start marking short actions as 110? )
Savage actions as a whole. Looks like the new owners are taking fit and finish seriously.
