Gunsmithing I could use some advice.

[mexicanmatch]

I just bought a Savage MKII fv-sp and was wondering if anyone has done any accuracy work on one? Like smoothing the action and any polishing to help make it much smoother to operate. I already have a stock in mind. Thanks in advance. MM

Savages are pretty accurate out of the box. You can dress it up to make it fit you better but 90% of your accuracy will come from your ammo selection.

does it shoot bad?

If the action is rough just shoot it a few thousand times and it will smooth out. My rifle started out a little rough but after 1500-1700 rounds it smooth enough. If you are dead set on getting work done Stockade Gun Stocks or SSS can take care of it but the wait may be long from what I have heard.

Have not shot it yet, waiting for new stock and metal

I personally wouldn't mess with it if it shoots good, my uncle has the same setup and the bolt raceway looks like it was rough broached. Yet it shoots amazing with factory ammo, .750 group at 300 yds hornady match 75s.
