Bought a used 110 in 30-06 a few days ago $ 234.00 out the door. Got it home and noticed the action was alittle loose on the stock. The problem is when I tighten the screws the bolt handle won't lift? Loosen the screws a little and its fine. Is this normal? This is my first build and I will change the stock out at some point to a tactical.

Sounds like action screws are too long.
NO That is not normal shorten the front guard screw and that should fix it.
Been too long since I've looked at a Savage but I'm guessing it's the front screw.
backout the front screw, tighten the rear to spec...test. If all is good, then close the bolt then start tightening the front screw til the bolt starts to bind...open the bolt, then tighten the front screw...count the turns and notice the degree of rotation, simply cut that amount off the screw. Try not to cut off too much so you can keep as much thread as possible.

the back screw is longer than the front screw. I have taken a dremel to some of mine and shortened them to allow bolt head clearance. Its better to go short by a few thousands than to have them be too long.
