Work on them myself currently getting set up to do my own barrel swaps anyone on here that has a savage has anyone had Jeff or another gunsmith blue print a savage action and if so has it improved ur groups

I have had several Savage rifles and I am not a fan. Yes you can build a very accurate rifle on a Savage action it just requires more work than a Remington will. You have less stock choices and trigger options with the Savage. I would not spend the money on blue printing either a Savage or a Remington unless you can do a quality job yourself. The cost compared to some new custom actions simply doesn't justify doing it anymore. You can buy a Kelby Atlas action for under 1k and have way more then if you try and improve the Savage.
If you do chamber up a barrel on the Savage do away with the barrel nut it limits your barrel shank size and it really is a substitute for poor machine work.
A good chamber job and a accurate barrel and good reloads trump the action blue printing.
