Timing Savage actions

[Delfuego]

This is the one I used. There are different diameter versions so measure you stuff first or order a a couple.

I had two done nothing was done to the thread for the tennon
He trued the face for the locking lug
He installed a shell caseworker a ball bearing in the back a and ground the fire pin spring
Yes it had easy bolt lift but the lock time was very slow
Not knocking him but It leaves a lot to be desired

You want a "one finger" bolt lift? Get a Remington XP 100 action and don't look back.
Had Fred at SSS do a T&T job on my Savage Model 12 LH SA. Not impressed with the finished product. Actually didn't feel any different than before the T&T job. I have installed Tactical (extended) bolt handles on all of my Savage actions. Even went as far as to have one "custom made" for my lefty action. They DO help ease the bolt lift BUT, will NEVER match the ease of my XP action.

yep Fred does great work.

i sent him a dual port savage target action. had it timed and trued, evolution trigger and bedded into his dog tracker stock. that bedding was a work of art and the action cycled like a different action. the only savage trigger that i have been pleased with.

Fred is a true craftsman. you can't rush perfection. Comunication with them was very easy. they did everything i asked

and the proof is on the target.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd disagree with this comment. I bought a stock from him. After waiting nearly a year it arrived. It appeared to have been milled incorrectly, the mistake filled with epoxy and remilled. I've not done business with SSS since and don't intend to in the future.
