Tubb Springs came.
I like them.
Here are the photos.
This photo shows the two springs with measured diameters. Instructions for install. Note instructions say do not cut to the length of the original spring, instead count coils on original spring and cut cut TUBB spring to the number of original coils.

This photo better reveals visually the diameter size difference. The large diameter is the original Savage. Small diameter is the Tubb.

This Photo shows the difference in height after cutting. Darker spring is the Tubb. I used a Dremel cutoff wheel to cut. Very Easy

Heres the DAVID TUBB chrome silicone spring installed. Cut to the instructions. Above is the old Savage Factory Spring. Its easy to see why the old spring gets bunched on the firing pin shaft. The new spring will eliminate any friction from the outer spring to the bolt firing pin hole. NOTE: instructions stated cut end (or open end) goes to the front of the firing pin.

Time will tell how it will work. Pin protrusion meets specs. Dry fires seem acceptable. Had to readjust the Target Red Blade trigger and safety adjustment screw. Bolt lift is easier (one finger) but is far from smooth. I suspect its the lack of smoothness is now because of the bolt lug to action interface. Entire Action is being sent today to Fred and Lisa at Sharp Shooters Supply for truing and timing.
