To be safe I would check headspace. If it were mine, I would at least measure the old and new.

Also check Midway. No need to headspace if you are using the same bolt head.

I would definitely check the headspace. If you don't it could cost you more than the price of a set of gauges.

Re: need savage bolt body
I'm all about safety...
But I'm with Mitch on this. How can headspace change from a new bolt body? It will not change the relationship between the locking lugs on the bolthead to the receiver with Savage's floating bolthead (?).
If we're wrong, please 'splain...

If you're getting a new bolt body, it would definitely be worth it to get nicely ground one from Pacific Tool & Gauge.

Re: need savage bolt body
Does anyone actually have a PTG bolt body?If so Pics? I've been wanting to get either a SSS mesh one or one from Tacworks. I read somewhere that Spiral fluting was not good on savage rifles but that was without clarification as to why. Anyone?
