This would emulate the way Mauser, Winchester, Remington etal install barrels on there production rifles. Correct headspacing would neccessitate short chambering the barrel and final reaming the chamber after barrel/action mating. Imagine someone has done same thing too a Savage rifle at sometime but would be a very limited number. My suggestion would be too try on forums for those rifles previously mentioned. Without definate information too follow I would guess that a few thousands clearance is needed (.005 to .010). You could always make it tight slip fit and if more clearance is need use your lathe too trim breech end. If you understand gunsmithing practices and headspacing principles then this should be a rather standard proceedure.
