Newbie seeking advice on building a rifle

I'm so close now on my Savage I might as well finish.

what is your approach to the bolt lift problems?
I'm curious

Oh I didn’t see your reply to me before. I had a savage- the only savage part was the action. I put a shilen select HV barrel on it in 6br. For a stock I used the B and C tactical medalist. Not a true benchrest stock but it worked well for me and that rifle was accurate. Those choates are good for the money to. I have a couple of them

I've had a couple of timed/trued Savages. One by Sharpshooter Supply was as smooth and easy to manipulate the bolt as any rifle I have touched. While they are notorious for turn around time, my understanding is they accumulate a list of those for the job and run them as a batch; so if you can get in touch with them to firm up this aspect to minimize time away I would not hesitate to trust Fred's work. I shoot Ftr with a couple of national record holders who shoot stock Savage target actions with CBI barrels, maybe not national BR capable, but no slouches.

don't start bragging and posting pictures when you only have a barrel nut.
