Very nice! Would you be willing to make another that uses the third action screw on the TR 22lr instead of the small wood screw. I cannot figure out why no one is taking advantage of the third mounting boss..

I will take a look at that but I imagine it is just a matter of drilling both holes same as the front, that is not a problem. I am going to pick up some aluminum stock today and see how that works out.

Re: New Bottom Metal Savage TR .22

Please let me know. I would like one of steel though.

I picked up some aluminum and steel stock today and made two of steel and one aluminum. The steel is actually easier to work with and I am actually getting pretty good at these, but I did buy a few more tools today. The small screw is actually further rear of that unused lug thread.
PM sent on the one you requested.

Here are the tuned groups with the new Metal, all I have to say is WOW!!!!

and the CZ 452 Varmit, the Savage TR is giving the CZ a urn for its money. The Savage didn't like the Eley. The five left corner are intended for the tiny red "x"s with 5 shot group in the middle.

Re: New Bottom Metal Savage TR .22

Very nice.. I will get payment out asap for the bottom metal to use the third screw. Does anyone know where I can get an extra action screw for a savage TR?

Re: New Bottom Metal Savage TR .22

Thanks for putting this up! I've got an In-lb wrench on the way to tune mine in. Can't wait to see if it works!

Re: New Bottom Metal Savage TR .22

What torque specs should be used for the bottom metal?

 

[gtriever]

Re: New Bottom Metal Savage TR .22

Mine shoots well with 18. Start out "finger snug" and adjust one lb at a time until you find the sweet spot.

Re: New Bottom Metal Savage TR .22

A clarifying question please, do you adjust both screws evenly or start with the front one?

 

[ryanmc]

Re: New Bottom Metal Savage TR .22--- New picts!!

Apparently tuning the action screw torque will make the most difference on a non-bedded action.

Rmercado this is the method I'll be using: Savage Action Tuning

Re: New Bottom Metal Savage TR .22--- New picts!!

thanks ryanmc... bottom metal coming, so I'll be experimenting.

Re: New Bottom Metal Savage TR .22

I've got to replace the bottom metal on my TR. I know Whiteknuckle utilized the third action screw. Has anyone seen empirical data showing that accuracy improved from using their rimfire's extra action screw? Does anyone know why savage only uses the third "extra" boss as a screw to fasten the magazine guide?
