In need of some advice

The nice thing about the savage is that the bolt head is floating. As long as you are using the same bolt head, you could have the timing done before or after.

Timing an action just make sure things are cut right between the lugs on the action vs. lugs on the bolt. He also does some tweaks in when things get cocked..haven't found a clear explination on that. It supposedly fixes heavy bolt lift issues.

Truing an action .. not 100% sure what Fred means by that.. but most places it means truing up the face of the action to be perpendicular to the threading. Making sure the action body is aligned perfectly.

Fixed: TRUING an action just make sure things are cut right (square) between the lugs on the action vs. lugs on the bolt. It also squares up the face of the action, the mating face of the barrel nut, the face of the bolt head, and removed the rounded corner where the shank of the bolt head meets the rear side of the lugs on the bolt head.

He also does some tweaks in when things get cocked...meaning the TIMING of how and when the various components that interact during the cocking/firing process so the action will cycle smoothly rather than the typical "from the factory" hard spot in the bolt lift when cocking due to those same components binding up because they're not interacting in sequentially timed fashion.
