Another misconception.
If one lug on a Savage is .002" proud then the boltface will not be perpendicular to the bore axis no matter how much the bolthead floats. Same as any bolt rifle with lugs on the bolt and abutments in the receiver.
The floating bolthead is nothing more than a production economy. Nick Brewer didn't design the 110 to be any more or less accurate than other rifles. He designed it to be inexpensive to manufacture and safe for the user. He succeeded splendidly and the proof is nearly 60 years later the same basic design is still being used.
