Unique Features Contribute to Accuracy Five unique features set Savage rifes apart from other bolt action makers. The frst is its button rifed barrel that is hand inspected and straightened. This results in consistent bore diameter and rate of twist. Next is the foating bolt head, which adjusts itself for a perfect engagement to the rear of a loaded cartridge without the need for expensive hand-lapped locking lugs. The two-piece bolt head provides repeatable precision alignment of each cartridge in the gun's chamber. Headspace control is maintained between the barrel and the action with Savage's third unique feature, the lock nut that provides for zero tolerance. This screwed-down lock nut allows Savage to produce a tight barrel to action ft at less cost than more labor-intensive methods. Accustock technology secures the action to the stock by a rigid rail system that is permanently embedded in the stock. This system engages the stock three dimensionally along its entire length instead of the traditional method of utilizing just two screws. It's the fourth way that Savage rifes achieve their notable accuracy. The fnal contributing factor to a Savage's inherent accuracy is its Accutrigger. A tab inside the face of the trigger is called the Accurelease. It functions as a safety that prevents a light trigger pull from accidentally discharging if the rife is dropped or jarred while loaded. The rife can only be fred by pulling the trigger deliberately. The Accutrigger is shooter adjustable down to a 1.5-pound pull. Oversize bolt handle is more like a gearshift knob so it works well with gloves. Magpul PRS2 butt pad adjusts for length of pull and cheek weld height via large knobs.
