I have a Savage model 12FV in 22-250 and the bolt rubs/drags on the magazine lips when the bolt is moved forward and backwards. It is not terrible but just annoying.
Does anyone have tips on the best method to fix this?
my concerns are:
1) if I bend the lips so that they don’t rub then I could change the way it feeds
2) if I file some metal off to provide clearance .......I will be making an irreversible change.

So so what have you guys done to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance.
