[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1248473, member: 1656"] The bedding job and the trigger are the first two things I would do. However, with an average amount of skill you can do both of those things yourself. The take the money you save and put that towards a Shilen, Criterion, or McGowen pre-fit barrel. Unlike a Remington, with an action vise (mine is homemade from a couple pieces of 2X6) you can swap out the barrel yourself with a headspace gauge. You will want to know what you are doing headspacing a barrel, but again, this is not rocket science. You could put in an aftermarket recoil lug machined square while you have the barrel off, though you'll have to redo its bedding if you already bedded the rifle. You didn't say what scope you are using. This is another place to upgrade. It won't increase the accuracy per se, but will make it easier to shoot it accurately. Blueprinting is less often done with the Savage due to the floating bolt head. Essentially this is squaring up of the action. [/QUOTE]
