Lance,
I recently bought the shim kit for the Savage Rifle Basix Trigger. My trigger was always a bit "loose". I love the trigger but it always seemed a bit "loose". Your shims improved not only its feel but the consistency of the set pull. It feels 100% better. Now it feels crisp as I squeeze the trigger. I would highly recommend these shims. Thanks, Matt in Kansas

Savage Rifle Bolt Shims - Experimental / Prototype
This shim was offered only as a trial for Field Testers, made by customer request in 2020, only a few trials with poor results
Use as a Temporary Try-Out Shim, expect it not to last - read the review below
I only offer these because a couple guys really wanted to try them, and I was getting asked about them all the time, so we gave it a try, but in general, they will not last, this bolt was not designed to have a round shim installed
They are posted here mostly as an artifact, so guys can read about them and see why they will not work.
This Shim is Now Discontinued ~ .480" X .648" Outside Diameter
If you need this shim for fitting, the Savage B.Mag Shim above is only just a thin hair smaller OD and can be used
This Bolt Shim will have to be Formed to Fit by the User ~ See Photo for Example
Our latest Field Tester Harold had disappointing results with this shim,

👉 Comments from Field Tester Harold; "after about 30 cycles of the bolt the shim bends back up a little bit, I went ahead and cycled the bolt about 50 more times and it was still working ok and the bend doesn't seem to be bent any worse - I took the rifle out to the range with the shim installed, it lasted about 60 rounds the bend became worse and caused the bolt to hang, I got it out and removed the shim which had broken from getting snagged"

LANCE'S TECH TIP:
Rimfire Bolt Shim Installation
~ A General Guide ~
Rimmed Cartridges use the thickness of the cartridge rim for head-spacing.
.22 Rimfire Cartridges Headspace on the Case Rim.
The Actual Headspace is in the Recessed Face of the Bolt.
You Must Make Sure this Recessed Bolt Face is Equal To or Deeper Than You Rim for Safety
Generally Speaking there is extra room left in production guns between the Bolt and Breech to accommodate a wide variety of ammunition with varying rim thicknesses
You should first measure the depth of your bolt face pocket to insure it meets SAAMI Headspace minimum depth.
Shimming between the two bolt halves ensures the bolt is seating the cartridge up gently against the breech with your chosen brand of ammunition.
You can use our color coded numbered shims like a gauge to find the when the bolt face touches the barrel breech face, and then calculate where you want to be with your bolt headspace depth and rim thickness measurements.
I cannot tell you which shim best works with your rifle, you decide that yourself by fitting and feel and
by shooting.
Installing Bolt Shims requires fitting by hand, and checking with the Bolt installed in the Rifle, and Locked Down -
you do not measure with the Bolt out of the Rifle.
To establish the Bolt/Breech fit, shims are installed and fitted on an empty chamber.
If possible it may give you a better feel if you leave the extractors off some rifles while fitting shims.
Start with a 4 or 5 Pak of shims, install the .0015" or .002" thinnest shim and see how your bolt closes,
if it seems to close as normal, then continue to install each thicker shim until the bolt starts to close harder than normal.
At the point where your bolt begins to close hard, that was the amount of slack that was in your bolt,
measured by whatever shim or shims combined were needed to bring the bolt up tight to the breech.
Now it is best to remove that shim, and step back one number, example would be if a .005" Red shim causes the bolt handle to close harder than normal,
then take it out and install a .004" Purple.
If you have to force or put undue stress on your bolt to close it, you should reduce the number of shims.
You will generally only use 1 of the 4 or 5 shims in the package, but you can stack shims together if needed.
When you have the correct shim installed, your bolt should close normally or just (ever-so) slightly tighter than normal.
If the bolt closes slightly tight, it is best to back up one step, remove .001"
Put a very small drop of oil on the shim.
Now you can go to the range and with the barrel pointed in a safe direction, once again check fit with your favorite ammo.
Due to variations in rim thickness, you may have to reduce the thickness of shims, remember you have already removed all the excess headspace from the bolt/breech,
so now the only thing to do is remove thickness (shims) if / as needed to get to your sweet spot or required headspace for the rim thickness of your favorite cartridge.
For Longest Shim Life use a drop of oil or a (very small amount of) grease on your shim.
If you have to force or put undue stress on your bolt to close it, you should reduce the number of shims.
A minimum of clearance should be maintained, while maintaining proper headspace. Do not put undue stress on the bolt by shimming too tightly as it is unnecessary!
At no time do you want to force the bolt to close, did I explain that clearly?
If you have any question, use a headspace gauge to check for proper headspace.
Bolt Shims have in many instances cured light strikes.
Will they help with Accuracy? Don't take my word for it,

Unsolicited Testimonial:
Just a friendly note on the bolt shims I purchased and installed. My 5 shot group went from dime size at 50 yds to everyone touching and not being able to count individual holes.
Thank You for a Great Product ~ Riley in WV
Unsolicited Testimonial:
Lance,
I simply wanted to say thank you for providing Bolt Shims. My first one installed was on my Bergara B-14 22 Trainer. I won the club season matches in 2022. It's more accurate now than my winning season. After seeing an improvement, in an already accurate rifle, I've shimmed my Bergara Shooting Rimfire barreled action, two CZ 457, my 2020 Springfield, and my my 54 Annie. The Anschutz allowed for 5th place in the IR 50/50 factory class last year. I shimmed it yesterday. The common fliers were less frequent and overall consistency was improved. A noticeable improvement was seen in all the rifles.
Thanks again for offering a great product ~ Rob in NC

Republic.... I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat - the same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and makes his first sound as a man. Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words. - John Wayne in the Alamo
