My other Savage....

[Lt.Dan]

I did the search and came up with a post of yours I think that had a link to a youtube video of it. That is it exactly. Now where do I get a new bolt handle besides Savage? I didn't find the set screw one though. Thanks big time.

Its a post I made years ago. I'm not saying its the right way, or the best way or you should even try it. I'm only saying it served it's purpose on two actions and they're both working today.

A better way to check and determine how much additional PE you need, place a shim on both sides between the baffle and bridge to keep the baffle square to the bridge. After you determine how much you need then you can easily set the screw depths to the amount of shim used on both sides and use blue Locktite to secure them

If down the road you replace the bolt handle and/or baffle simply remove the screws otherwise you may run into the opposite condition, too much PE.
