I am wondering what actions are the best to work with as far as rebarrelling and action works and triggers
how are Howa and weatherby vanguards
In my opinion triggers are among the easier things to improve and work on with so many after market triggers available for so many makes and models. When you start getting into replacing barrels things change in that specialized tools become necessary like barrel vise and action wrenches. The same holds true for many bolt assemblies on bolt action rifles to easily dissemble and reassemble the bolts. So once we get away from simpler drop in replacement parts special tools are needed for different actions.I am wondering what actions are the best to work with as far as rebarrelling and action works and triggers
Not in all cases. The Mauser 98 reguires nothing additional in barrel replacement but the Yugo M-48(also a Mauser 98 but in an intermediate length)does reguire a cut for the extractor.Push feed actions are much simpler to rebarrel than CRF.

Barrels are torqued on Super Tight. Here is what you need to break one loose.
Almost as magical as a double rainbow all the way...the double barrel vice!
Savage doesn't advertise it that way because it was not designed with end user barrel work in mind. The design was built around fully interchangeable parts and ease of manufacture. Unlike a Remington style action, a Savage type rifle with the nut to set headspace does not require a machinist or time on the lathe to set the headspace. That saves man-hours and machine time during production and that drives costs way down. Another advantage is that a machinist's mistake while setting the shoulder doesn't turn a barrel into scrap.They have not advertised their rifles in that way, true, but that does not change the fact that it is easy to do.
