Guy has a 22"stainless Savage factory barrel in 308. It a heavy barrel from a Model 12 and has a non-removable muzzle brake...ie. brake is part of the barrel not an addition. When were these made? He says it is unfired and wants $100 for it...whatdaya think?
100 go for it

I'd have it chopped down to 18-21" (whatever your fancy) and put a real brake on it other than those noise/dust maker ports... $100 is good though and it's a 308, so they go a long way!
Is the barrel factory roll stamped? If so, what Model # is on it?
I can't recall Savage ever offering a fixed brake setup like that. They did have a Model 116 FSK back in the late 90's with a 22" BBL that had a fixed brake, but the holes were staggered rather than in-line like those and it wasn't offered in .308 Win.
The only models I can think of that would have a heavy 308 barrel would be the 12 FVSS, 12 BVSS and maybe the 12 VLP and none of them came with a brake of any kind. It also looks like the barrel has a blasted finish rather than the typical factory finish - might be another indicator it's not entirely "factory" as claimed.

Are you certain it is not removable? Is the bore of the brake rifled or smooth? Can you see a gap in the bore if you look down the muzzle with a light? Most model 10 barrels were black or blue. Something could have been done to the OD to hide the transition. Just a thought.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
Yep.Are you certain it is not removable?
Almost ready to spring for it just to find out what the h..l it is. Well you know "almost"
Model 12 with a 1-12 Twist...hello?!
