Any updates? Just so you know, Savage has often had action screws that bottomed out leaving play between the stock and action. I often grind or cut about two threads off to avoid the is problem. Also, the front scope base screws often bottom out against the barrel threads or bolt head. It is easy to figure out if it is hitting the bolt head. The bolt won't open if the bolt was closed when the screws were tightened and the bolt won't close it the bolt was out when the screws were tightened. Here again, removing a thread or so can cure the problem. Also recheck all base and ring screws for tightness. Hope this helps.
