No, it's made shallow so that you can check it, then ream until proper headspace is achieved, including the crush of tightening (approx. .002") - Dan

There should be no reaming involved if you have a pre-chambered bbl for the savage. Screw the bbl in with the headspace gauge in the chamber up against the bolt then tighten the barrel nut.Headspace is set.::::MV

Yes a go gauge - Ive heard that it can be done with a fired case also in a pinch.
