Most factory type rifles/guns as a good ball park number.....the cost for them to make the barrel and this includes the cost of the steel, contouring, chamber, threading, crowning etc...I’ll throw a number of $60-$100. Some makers do put a little more time and effort into the barrels and will have more cost into them.

I don’t know how to post pictures here (think I have to pay a fee) but I have pictures of factory barrels where the centerline of the bore of the barrel isn’t even in the center of the barrel blank. It’s not a Savage either but is a factory barrel.
