Yes, bolt lift is a problem on all the 110s. There are a several things done to combat its unwanted presence. The first I tell people is a new longer bolt handle. This is simple physics. A longer lever! Remember what Archimedes said: “Give me a lever long enough & fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the World!” Also, Lift kits do work well. Some better than others. None are complete a fix on their own however. I’m thinking you have the new style firing pin. Is this correct? There is a member here, Grimstod Desh. He makes lift kits for the new style firing pin. Here’s his site. https://deshind.com/product/savage-b...ring-pin-2019/ I make really nice ones for the old style firing pin & give them out to people here. But I only do it once in a awhile & don’t have any currently. Polishing is also good. The edges of the ramp that the cocking piece pin ride against. And smoothing the little tip at the top of the ramp. But take care here if you do. With the cocking piece pin being slightly slanted. Yes, this is normal as the hole is beveled for easy insert. Now, on the old style, adjustable firing pins, the cocking piece can be tapped 1/4-28 all the way through and a set screw installed. This will keep the cocking piece pin straight up & down. Not sure on the new, 1-piece style pin.
There is no one Magic fix. It’s a series of little things. If you look through my older threads you’ll see I’ve done a great deal of work to get mine where it’s at. I’ve gone as far as to machining a new Firing pin & found a resource for lighter Flat Wire FP springs. The result of my efforts is a 1 finger bolt lift. I have a video of that floating around here & on YouTube as well. If you search you’ll find tutorials on most things. And many threads answering questions like yours. I wouldn’t rush into doing anything. Take your time. Research, A LOT! I and others here didn’t get to where we are overnight after all.
I have no doubt you’ll be able to get your 110 where you want it. Welcome to the Forum partner.
