Appreciate the concern. I had looked at Lumley kit before based on your previous post. That kit answered my problem of the cross slot on the old BAS, which I'm not fond of AND I get a lift kit benefit as well. I'd found a hex BAS on another site for $18 delivered, so really the kit was a no-brainer. I know the chances of it backing out are slim, but I feel better about the torque you can apply with a 1/4" allen wrench. Anybody that has broken that BAS screw for the first time knows how tight Savage puts them on, which is probably overkill. As tight as I could get the cross slot BAS, it is really easy to break without a lot of effort. That made me really nervous, and I know this 300 Win Mag is going to feel a lot more recoil than the Savage 270 and 6.5 CMs I have experience with. Thanks again!
