I have seen sporter take-offs sell for as little as $35 in the classifieds.
Re: Barrel replacement kits.
Nothing wrong with the barrel kits. Based on what I've read, the barrels are most likely manufactured by ER Shaw, since most are 24". As already mentioned, you can pick up a Savage factory take-off sporter barrel from this sites classified's for $50 to $75. Plus there are several technical "how to" articles on Savage barrel swapping. Order the wrench and go, no-go gages online from Midway. You will most likely need an action wrench or barrel vise to make it easier to remove the barrel nut the first time. Then you'll be set up to switch out Savage Pre-fit barrels at will. And 1/2" groups and less are fairly common with the Savage and fine-tuned reloads. Welcome to the Savage fan club.
