Question for you guys, I have a Savage 110 in 338, the chamber seems to have some burs in it as every round i fire is a pain in the ass to extract, looking at the brass i can see that it is marred from something in the chamber. So the question is does anyone know if there is a chamber hone that I can get?

Be absolutely certain they are not getting scratched while feeding. Slide a few into the chamber by hand, then close the bolt, and see if you still get the scratches.
The problem is (as I understand it) you don't want the chamber to be a polished finish. So be really sure before you start working on the chamber.

i know i don't want a polish finish, needs to be somewhat rough as that is what the case grabs into upon firing (from what i understand), but i need to get the burrs out of the chamber, basically have a single shot rifle now since i can't run the bolt like i should be able to
First what ^ he said hand feed into chamber, fire then carefully remove to check if you still get the marks.
You also need to check if the primary extraction is working properly.

Looks like something on the bottom of the bolt scratching the next cartridge in the magazine.
Perhaps the roll-pin that holds the ejector in place.

I ran an 800 grit Flex Hone through mine today for a couple of minutes, cleared my Savage burrs up. Deep neck burr and minor case burrs. fire formed brass didn't show any scratches loading them in by hand with more sharpie so I'll find out for sure the next time I shoot.
Because the ejector is under spring pressure the case will ride on the locking lugs inside the action as they are being extracted.
