Can someone tell me what size the base screw is for a Savage rifle. One of the bases screw holes has some buggered up threads half way down, not allowing the screw to tighten firmly enough. I need to know what size and pitch of threads so I can run a tap down through the hole and clean up the threads.
Thanks HeavyBarrel

If it is a blind hole you will need a bottom tap with 6-48 thread. If the screw hole is open all the way through then a taper or plug will work. Some of the larger Savage actions ( 338 Lapua ) etc use 8-40 screw size.
