I also ordered one and received yesterday. No ideal who makes it. I would classify it as a feather-weight contour (#2). Definately not a Savage sporter weigh contour. Only weights 2 lbs, 0.5 oz vs. a 2 lb, 10 oz. 24" 7mm RM Savage factory sporter contour barrel for comparison. It is a 23" barrel, not 24" as advertised. The crown is flat, not recessed. The stainless steel finish is polished. Threaded with ease into a Savage small shank action. If you're looking for a light-weight hunting/mountain rifle, then this could be the ticket. I plan to put it on a new Savage 111 LWH action to replace a 20" factory LW barrel (2lbs, 0.5 oz). If it will shoot 3-shot groups as good as it looks, then I am going to be one happy owner. I am cautiously optimistic, since the price is too good to be true. Waiting on dies and 280 AI brass to find out.
