Shooting ladders has always helped me to quickly home in on sweet spots with powder charges and bullet jumps. I then shoot groups to fine tune. Why not do the same with screw torque. I’m going to give it a try.

John B. Just one thing for you to think about. Which rifle currently holds the 1000 yard US National Team record?

A factory Savage.

As it is a Team record, not just one Savage had to be performing superbly, but 4 of them.

I see by John B’s comment there are still narrow minded individuals that have not made it to Washington D.C.

I know a guy that tried this on his Bat action after reading this article. It had the same effect as the Savage action (it changes POI and group size). I believe this would apply to ALL ACTIONS with three screws, not just the savage.

The absolute best way to tune a Savage action is to trade it in on anything else that is not garbage!

I’m using this technique on my Kelbly Panda F-Class. It has three action bolts. Too much on the rear bolt and the groups really open up! That’s the critical bolt that needs tuning on mine.
