Anyone who wants to prove to themselves where the heavy Savage bolt lift comes from, can do so by simply removing the firing pin and spring, reassemble the bolt, and cycle it. It is obvious the spring is the major culprit.

The rifle functions better than ever, and no negatives have been detected.
Thanks - I may have to do that.
