Savage 10TR le/military

Just adding a question to this thread:
I am somewhat new to reloading. I am measuring the headspace on my Savage 10 TR. I am using a Hornady headspace comparator with the D400 bushing and twice fired brass from this rifle (both Federal and Hornady brass).
I get 1.618"
SAAMI says: 1.630 GO, 1.634 NO GO, 1.638 FIELD

When resizing the cases, I plan on "bumping" the shoulder back .002" = 1.616"


So at 1.618" this would be considered a "tight" chamber?
Is this good...bad...doesn't matter?
How does this compare to those of you that have measured the headspace of your rifle?

Thanks

1.618 doesn’t sound right. I don’t have a comparator just go/no go gauges. Usually Savages are on the tight side.

What does factory ammunition measure in your comparator?
 
Reviving an old post, SFRC had those on sale and 20% off that, bought one to try out , 567$ shipped, good deal for everything the Savage has, looking forward to receive it.
