that sounds real good. Seems like most people's factory Savages will shoot 1" or better with good ammo, and usually do even better with the right handloads. Might try shooting a 3 shot group while waiting 10 minutes or so between shots...so that each shot is a true "cold bore" shot. Sometimes I can get mine to shoot some really nice groups if allow the barrels to cool off. If I pop them off fast, they will usually open up a bit.
