help finding a 30 cal barrel for cheap

I've got a lead on a stevens 200 at a super price. It's in 243, which I have no interest in, but savages are easy to rebarrel. I was going to grab one of the threaded 308 shaw barrels off midway for cheap, but they're discontinued. So I thought about 300 blackout, and those are discontinued as well. Anybody know of a source for a decent 308 or 300 aac or something barrel? There were some group buys for 300aac barrels a couple years ago, but nothing I can find current. The goal is to shoot low pressure/low recoil cast bullets, and a suppressor is in my future. I really want to keep the barrel under $200.

Join up as a paidmember, 15$. and go to the classified add we have. you should be able to remove your 243 barrel and trade it to someone for a 30 cal strait up in the savage shooters classifieds

And DONT buy a 300blk out. they are awesome in semis. but a 308 will do the exact same subsonically as a 300 blk in a bolt gun but still have way more power at supersonic. 8.2 gr trailboss and a 165 lazercast lead bullet have shot perfectly with a supressor for me. about 1025 fps and are short enough to stabilize

Greyling....I sent you a pm.

Apache Gun Works advertiser here sounds like a good deal and good guy. Less $ than high end target barrels.

Jim (Apache) makes great barrels for a great price, and the 6WSM he built me rivals the "high end" target barrels I have for accuracy.

Jim is also building me a 22" Varmint weight 6x55 improved.

well the dish washer went out, so no rifle for me after all. Thanks for your suggestions though.

Where did she go? :p

Did your wife leave you? Sorry, couldn't help it.

ouch. no, the dish washing machine broke yesterday, then my wife crushed the tip of her finger in a printing press today at school (she teaches art) When it rains it pours I guess. Maybe by the time I have money again there will be a larger selection of barrels.
