    Wow the factory bolt handle is really on tight. I figured I would save the new tactical bolt handle for last since it will be so easy to change and come to find out it is the hardest. I watched a bunch of youtube vids and it looked like it came right off but mine is extremely tight. Looks like I am going to have to break out the breaker bar and see if I can pop this handle loose.

    I have heard the same thing, my used Mod 11 with DBM will have a new bolt whenever it gets out of gun jail ;- )

    After a little more research I ended up getting the bolt knob off and was able to install the new knob. A couple more items and this rifle will be all done.

    That is the Tactical Evolution chassis.

    The rear and front sight screws will not thread far enough down to fit flush. You will need shorter screws, plug screws or cut them off.

    So I just wanted to post a follow up. I bought some 55gr Hornady Vmax bullets and loaded them up using 23.9gr of TAC. I loaded them 30 thousands off the lands in my Savage model 11 with 20" barrel, Evolution chassis and SWFA Super Sniper 3-15x42mm scope and had great results. I only loaded 10 of the Vmax bullets to try out and I think they work very well in my gun. Here is a shot at 100 yards today, first two I thought were hole for hole, last one I pulled a little bit. Next time out I will load a bunch.
