That is a really good price for what looks like quality work. He did an excellent job on both of mine and since he was behind, it took 2 weeks total.

There's the answer right there! I may have to give them a call. I'll ask if he'd do a Kimber bolt too.

Karl has done several jobs for me and he does excellent work. He just did a 45-70 octagon for me. Now, I had rather pay $35 against $75-$90 for fluting. That is why I use Dennis for that.

I have one rifle with a fluted bolt; never again. It was done perfectly, but it's not something that adds anything and the negatives (water, debris, crud get in more easily; brass scratching) outweigh the "looks". YMMV.

You didn't do it for the right reason then.

Just ribbing you a little.
It saves a very small amount of weight and actually leaves a little space for dirt.

The only issue is a possible change in headspace. Any time a bolt is changed there needs to be a headspace check due to differences in manufacturing tolerances. A set of headspace gages will tell you if you need to loosen the barrel nut and adjust the headspace. With a Savage it is simple with a couple of tools. In case your mind is not completely made up toward fluting of your bolt. The quoted material is totally wrong in regards to a Savage 10/110 series rifle bolt. As with most of our modern bolt action rifles, head space is determined by the locking lugs seating into their recess as the bolt is closed. The difference between the Savage and all the rest of our common bolt actions, the locking lugs are not actually part of the bolt. This is the modularity which was alluded to in an earlier post. Go ahead, purchase the new fluted bolt, then push the bolt head retaining pin out of your rifles original bolt, and install the bolt head (locking lugs) on to your new bolt. Headspace will be as it was from the factory. You WILL NOT need to loosen the barrel lock nut and adjust headspace.

Idaho, you are correct in your post. I don't know what I was thinking when I posted. Oh well, it is not the first time I have been wrong on the internet.

I have stuck my foot in my mouth a couple of times here.
Usually someone corrects my mistake and I learn something. That is what most of us are here for.
Someday in the near future, I expect you might be the one to correct me.
