Sir:
Yea! the Savage is a good reciever - the bbl. O.D. is 1.055 I believe with 20 T.P.I.
About an inch bull bbl. is all you really can get on a Savage
They are a very nice action to rebbl.

I recently built a Savage in 6.5x47 Lapua and I used a Shilen prefit barrel from Midway. ($299) So far I have 80rds through it with a .211" group and
a .311" group @ 100 yds. Many many others under .5" but I dig those under or very close to .25". Check Midway for many diffent barrel options (both prefits and blanks) and you could also check Brownell's. Another great source for information would be savageshooters.com, but there is a $12 membership fee. (Well worth it in my opinion.)
Good luck!
