I own 2 savage bolt rifles. Both have a tough spot in the bolts motion. I'm not savvy with naming parts but I need some ideas. It's during the Up-Back motion when the bolt handle rolls past it's catch and cocks the firing pin before recycling the bolt and loading the next round. That point/catch will wear in time for a smoother motion BUT...I want some bolt ideas. For repeatability and faster follow ups I want to make some small adjustments to the bolt. As I begin to do more and more dry practice I wish my bolts were less "new".

Brownell's has several products designed for polishing out the internal parts of a receiver so a bolt will slide smoothly.

Some folks just coat the rubbing parts with Flitz and cycle the action several hundred times and this will help.

I know the feeling you are experiencing. Its due to the way the savage mills their lug recesses. My stevens was the same way so I sent it to Sharp Shooter Supply and let Fred Time and True the action, I think he charges $105 to do it now, he works by appointment only, so you have to give them a call or send them an email, I don't konw what their lead time is now, but I think I waited about 4 or 5 months for them to call for mine, then about a month to get it back, but it is great now. you can get more info at www.sharpshooterssupply.com (I'm not affiliated with Sharp Shooters Supply, other than as a satisfied customer)
